Rumors surrounding the health of former Prime Minister of Pakistan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan were put to rest on Tuesday after his sister, Uzma Khanum, met him at Adiala Jail and confirmed that he is in good health.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Uzma Khanum said her brother was “fine and stable,” dismissing speculation about his condition. However, she added that the PTI founder was being subjected to continuous mental stress and was kept in solitary confinement.
Uzma Khanum said PTI founder, Imran Khan, appeared angry and disturbed, highlighting that both he and Bushra Bibi are being subjected to continuous mental stress. She revealed that he had not met anyone for four weeks, and her recent visit was the first in that period.
She claims that Imran Khan reportedly remains confined alone in a small room, while Bushra Bibi is also kept in solitary confinement.
During the visit, the PTI founder expressed support for Sohail Afridi, urging him to remain at the forefront of party activities. Uzma Khanum said that Imran Khan had personal messages for Suhail Afridi, which she will deliver personally.
She said that Imran Khan also criticized certain party activities in his absence, stating that members who do not adhere to party principles will have no place in PTI.
Uzma Khanum further shared that Imran Khan discussed party candidate selections for upcoming Bar Council elections, mentioning Hamid Khan and Salman Akram Raja, and emphasized that notifications for Mahmooda Achakzai and Allama Raja Nasir should be finalized.
He expressed displeasure over a recent seminar attended by party members while he remains in custody, questioning why those responsible for his imprisonment were allowed to meet with the party.
