Supreme Court orders Imran Khan’s hospital transfer until September 16

The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed authorities to transfer former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to Shifa Hospital for medical assessment and treatment until September 16. In its order, the court also mandated the formation of a medical board, which is to include specialists Dr Faisal Sultan and Dr Uzma Khan. The bench cited the fundamental right to life and access to medical facilities under Article 9 of the Constitution, while also making it clear that the medical report should not be used for political purposes.

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan has now spoken out on the matter, issuing what has been described as a "fiery statement" regarding the delay in former Prime Minister Imran Khan's hospital transfer.

Senior PTI leader Asad Qaiser has stated that Imran Khan should be granted a sub-jail facility, guaranteeing there would be no political victimisation. He warned that the government's "stubbornness" on the hospital transfer could put the country's future at risk. Separately, another warning was issued by a party leader, giving a 48-hour timeframe for the former prime minister's transfer to a hospital.

PTI lawyer Salman Akram Raja has warned of a "massive protest" if former Prime Minister Imran Khan is not transferred from Adiala Jail to a hospital as per the Supreme Court's directive. The warning comes as the government's deadline to facilitate the move approaches.
