Rana Sanaullah, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Imran Khan, told the Senate on Thursday that Noreen Niazi, a sister of the jailed former premier, was fine after receiving medical care at a hospital the previous day. Noreen is one of three sisters of Imran Khan who have been under detention since September 21 under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance.
Prior to her hospitalization, her lawyer disclosed that she had been transferred from Kot Lakhpat jail to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) due to high blood pressure, without notifying any family members. When asked by PTI parliamentary leader Barrister Ali Zafar about Noreen's health and her transfer to the hospital, Sanaullah stated that she "immediately received medical facilities" and that all her medical tests were normal.
Concerns were raised about family members not being allowed to visit her, but Sanaullah promised to address the issue if it turned out to be true. The PTI criticized the transfer of Noreen to the PIC without informing her family, describing it as "callous and inhumane". They demanded an explanation from the Punjab government and authorities, insisting that Noreen receive the best medical care and that her family be granted access to her in accordance with the law.
