ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party accused the government of contempt of court after Imran Khan, the party's founder, was not transferred to Shifa International Hospital as ordered by the Supreme Court. Instead, Khan was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims). Uzma Khan, Imran's sister, addressed a press conference in Islamabad along with her personal physician, Dr. Faisal Sultan, revealing the details of Khan's medical examination.
Uzma said that they were initially taken to Adiala jail, where they waited before being taken to Pims. She recounted the lack of information provided about Imran's treatment and the absence of access to reading materials or television. Khan expressed his frustration, claiming he was being subjected to "cruelty" and solitary confinement.
Uzma reported that Imran seemed happy with the decision to transfer him to Shifa International Hospital, despite being taken to Pims instead. Dr. Sultan also mentioned being taken to Shifa International Hospital from Adiala jail, while Uzma was taken to Pims.
