In a bold rebuttal to health rumors swirling around jailed PTI chief Imran Khan, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar announced Monday that the ex-premier’s eyesight is far from dire. One eye holds 70% light retention with spectacles, and the second boasts full 6/6 clarity, per fresh medical evaluations.
Addressing lawyers in Punjab’s Shahdara district, Tarar cited discussions with AGP Mansoor Awan and medical experts. This follows Supreme Court intervention after reports of Khan’s right eye down to 15% vision. A specialist panel visited Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail Sunday, conducting thorough eye exams, blood tests, and vitals checks—though PTI dismissed it sans their input.
Tarar turned fire on KP’s PTI administration for protests blocking key highways. ‘These sieges are unlawful,’ he declared, appealing for roads to reopen or face federal action. ‘Don’t complain if we step in,’ he cautioned the provincial government.
Framing it nationally, Tarar tied such disruptions to Pakistan’s fragile economy, insisting stability precedes progress. The minister’s glasses remark—’Khan should just wear them’—underscores a no-nonsense stance amid polarized politics. With court battles raging, Khan’s health remains a flashpoint, but Tarar positions it as a non-issue.
