Imran Khan’s Health Scare: Former PM Back Behind Bars
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was briefly transferred from Adiala Jail to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad late Tuesday night. According to reports, the 74-year-old politician required medical attention for eye issues and fluctuations in blood pressure. After undergoing a check-up and receiving necessary care, he was transported back to his cell, marking a rare hospital visit for the former leader who has been incarcerated for over three years.
The legal and physical plight of the cricketer-turned-politician remains a focal point of intense political debate in Pakistan. Khan, who has consistently maintained that the corruption charges against him are politically motivated, faces deteriorating health, with his legal team raising specific concerns about his failing eyesight. As his party continues to push for better conditions and access to counsel, the recent hospital visit underscores the ongoing friction surrounding his detention, particularly as his deputy, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, also remains under medical care in a separate facility.
