He was further examined, and after his written approval, a 20-minute medical procedure was performed”. The ex-premier was then taken back to the Adiala jail with “important instructions”.
“During the medical procedure, his vitals and everything were stable. He’s absolutely healthy,” Tarar stated. The comments came after Khan’s opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party spokesman Zulfiquar Bukhari said earlier this week that the former premier was suffering from an eye condition and required “immediate medical attention.”
Bukhari had called for Khan’s personal physician to be granted access, warning on X that any further delay could result in “irreversible harm. Mr. Khan’s family nor his legal team were informed before or after he was taken from prison for medical treatment, Mr. Bukhari said, adding that authorities had provided no verifiable details about his condition, the treatment administered or the doctors involved.
Mr. Bukhari said the government’s attempt to portray the eye condition as a routine medical matter raised “more questions than answers”. He expressed serious concerns about Mr. Khan’s health and demanded immediate access for his family and personal physicians, as well as full disclosure of the medical procedure and Mr. Khan’s current condition.
