In a dramatic showdown outside Islamabad High Court, Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khanum unleashed her anger at PTI’s top brass, demanding accountability for the secrecy cloaking her jailed brother’s medical care. The February 25 confrontation, flanked by sisters Uzma and Noreen, painted a picture of familial distress amid political intrigue.
Aleema’s core grievance? The party’s opaque approach to Imran’s health updates, especially following a recent treatment session that sparked outrage. ‘His well-being is our utmost priority,’ she declared to reporters, stressing that family input must precede any decisions. Recalling Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s assurances of treatment, she slammed PTI for not verifying details, leaving everyone guessing.
Naqvi had previously accused Aleema of politicizing her brother’s plight, but she fired back, questioning the refusal to disclose treatment specifics. The family had submitted a roster of trusted doctors and a preferred facility—requests allegedly disregarded. This comes as opposition voices amplify calls for expedited trials in Khan’s cases.
Turning the spotlight inward, Aleema quizzed the whereabouts of key PTI figures: ‘Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Latif Khosa, and Ali Zafar—where have they vanished, and why aren’t they in court battling for Imran?’ Her words echo the frustrations of supporters watching legal battles drag on.
KP Chief Minister Sohail Afriidi’s courthouse visit added to the frenzy, as he sought audience with Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar. This family-led revolt signals brewing storm within PTI, potentially jeopardizing the party’s cohesion as Imran Khan’s health remains a flashpoint in Pakistan’s volatile politics.
