PCB threatens player protest after Atherton’s interview with Imran Khan’s sons

Dr Uzma Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, has once again sought an urgent hearing before the Supreme Court over her contempt petition against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and others. Last week, the apex court ordered Imran to be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for treatment, but the government instead moved him to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS).

Uzma's application, filed for the second time, urges the court to fix the matter this week or at the earliest next week, warning that further delay could cause "serious and irreparable harm" to Imran's health. The petition claims the respondents have deliberately failed to implement the court's August 18 order, which she describes as "clear, unambiguous and binding."

Uzma argues that the delay in hearing the petition is unjustified and that the reasons for the delay cannot justify waiting until September 16. The government has filed a review petition, alleging the order is discriminatory.
