  "summary": "Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was taken to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for a medical examination after concerns were raised about his health. A team of doctors, including an ophthalmologist, a cardiologist, and a physician, conducted the examination and declared him \"medically fit\".\n\nKhan's sister, Azma Khan, was present during the examination, according to Information Minister Attaullah Tarar. The medical checkup was ordered by the Supreme Court, which also directed that Khan be allowed to see his family.\n\nThe PTI party has accused the government of violating the Supreme Court's directions, with Barrister Gohar Ali Khan saying the court's instructions were clear and unambiguous. Khan was transferred back to Adiala Jail after the medical examination, under maximum security protocols.",
