Imran Khan Likely to Be Shifted from Adiala Jail to Hospital for Medical Examination
RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan may be shifted from Adiala Jail to a hospital in the coming days in view of his health condition.
According to jail sources and his legal team, senior lawyers Sardar Latif Khosa and Barrister Salman Safdar held an approximately four-hour-long meeting with Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, at Adiala Jail on Wednesday.
During the meeting, detailed discussions were held on Imran Khan’s health, ongoing legal cases, the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment and other important political and national matters.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Sardar Latif Khosa and Barrister Salman Safdar confirmed the lengthy meeting and discussions held during it.
Sources further revealed that the PTI founder also expressed support for the proposal to create new provinces in the country.
According to reports, preparations for Imran Khan’s medical examination at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad, along with the lengthy meeting with his lawyers, have raised hopes of renewed confidence-building efforts between the opposing sides amid the prevailing political tensions.
Against the backdrop of the recent political standoff, observers believe tensions between the PTI, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), Awami National Party (ANP) and other political parties on one side and the ruling coalition on the other could ease only if channels of dialogue and mutual engagement remain open.
Political circles are describing the lengthy jail meeting as a significant development that could help end the existing deadlock and shape the future political strategy.
During the meeting, Imran Khan also reportedly expressed satisfaction with the facilities being provided to him in jail.
Sources said contacts between the legal team and other relevant stakeholders are likely to intensify in the coming days, potentially having significant implications for political stability and constitutional matters in the country.
