Rana Sanaullah, the Prime Minister's adviser on political affairs, assured the Senate on Thursday that Noreen Niazi, the jailed sister of Imran Khan, was fine after receiving medical treatment in Lahore. Noreen, along with her three sisters, Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, have been detained since September 21 under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO) at the behest of the Lahore Deputy Commissioner.
On Wednesday, her lawyer disclosed that she had been moved to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) due to high blood pressure. Sanaullah informed the Senate that Noreen was immediately provided with medical facilities and her medical tests were normal. Concerns were raised about the family being denied access to Noreen, with Sanaullah promising to address the matter if it proved true.
PTI Senator Mashal Yousafzai questioned the detention of Noreen, arguing that she was in jail for attempting to incite unrest. PTI condemned the transfer of Noreen to the PIC without informing her family, expressing concern for her health and the treatment of political prisoners.
