Gohar demands immediate medical examination of IK

Pakistani politician Gohar Ali Khan has called for an urgent medical examination of his jailed former prime minister, Imran Khan. Addressing reporters outside Parliament House, Gohar expressed worry over reports suggesting Khan's health is worsening. He emphasized that medical treatment should not be compromised as a political move.

Gohar's lawyer, Salman Safdar, met Khan earlier in the week to discuss his health and legal issues. However, Gohar was upset that the Supreme Court's orders for meetings with family members and transfer to a private hospital have been disregarded. He urged the court to enforce these directives, especially those related to Khan's access to his family and proper medical care.

The PTI chairman's comments came as family and party members, including Safdar, Safdar's sister and son, have raised concerns over Khan's condition and access to healthcare. Safdar was permitted to meet Khan, following an agreement to focus solely on legal matters pertaining to Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, and not delve into political matters.

Son Kasim Khan disclosed that his father's blood pressure had risen to 192, adding to the worries about his health and the medical services available in prison. The family has demanded Khan's prompt transfer to an independent medical facility, with his personal physician present during treatment.
