Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Salman Akram Raja on Friday said that former prime minister Imran Khan’s family will receive his medical report, following a party sit-in outside the Supreme Court and Raja’s meeting with the Chief Justice of Pakistan.
The former ruling party staged a sit-in outside the apex court, demanding a meeting with jailed Imran after the government revealed he was brought to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) for inspection.
Speaking to reporters outside the Supreme Court in Islamabad, the PTI secretary general said that the party was assured that it would receive a medical report for the party’s founder after an intense day of negotiations.
He, however, said that the achievement was “not entirely satisfactory”, adding that the party fought a “moral case” outside the court.
Raja explained that the founder and his sisters would receive medical reports, with assurances that personal doctors could access him at Adiala jail after the report was issued.
After receiving the assurances, PTI ended its hours-long sit-in outside the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, the PTI secretary general said that he had engaged in multiple discussions since morning with Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi and the Attorney General for Pakistan to express concerns about the PTI founder.
Raja noted that the medical report would clarify the PTI founder’s eye condition, saying that securing the report was not the sole objective.
The PTI secretary general vowed continued efforts to ensure Imran’s meeting with his family and associates.
He said that a meeting of the PTI political committee would be convened today to decide the next course of action, while party leaders would also meet the Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aiyeen Pakistan (TTAP) leadership.
Raja said that PTI would decide on its future strategy after holding consultations with TTAP chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas. –Agencies
