Table of Contents

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar confirmed on Tuesday that doctors have been allowed to meet Imran Khan at Adiala jail after his party complained that the incarcerated leader was facing health-related issues.

Previously, Gohar had said that since October 3, no lawyer, family member or party leader had been allowed to meet Imran despite his ailing health. He added that the PTI had submitted an application to the interior ministry to allow a party leader, family member, or health professional to meet the founding chairman.

Speaking to Dawn.com today, Gohar said that “government doctors, along with medical specialists and an ENT specialist (otolaryngologist), had arrived at the jail.”

A day earlier, the PTI had called off a planned protest in Islamabad after receiving assurances about Imran’s health and that a medical expert would visit Adiala Jail today to examine him.

The protest would have coincided with the ongoing Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit for which dignitaries of several countries are in Islamabad amid very high security.

The government, which had earlier refused to back down from its tough stance on dealing with PTI protesters with an “iron hand” if they tried to protest amid the SCO moot, agreed to most of the party’s demands, including arranging a meeting between party leaders and founding chairman Imran Khan and facilitating his medical checkup.
