PTI General Secretary Salman Akram Raja criticized the federal government on Saturday for staging a "completely choreographed drama" and disregarding the Supreme Court's directive to move party founder Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital. Raja made these remarks during an interview with Geo News, discussing a contempt of court plea filed by Advocate Uzair Karamat Bhandari on behalf of Imran Khan's sister, Dr. Uzma Khan.
The plea aimed to initiate contempt proceedings against those responsible for violating the August 18 court order for relocating the incarcerated prime minister to a private hospital in the capital. Raja emphasized that the decision to file the plea was "purely legal and professional," naming jail administrators, the Punjab interior secretary, government officials, ministers, and the prime minister as parties to the case.
He expressed disappointment that the Supreme Court's decision was not followed, noting that Imran Khan was not transferred to Shifa, nor was a medical board constituted with Dr. Uzma and Dr. Faisal Sultan.
