										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Pakistan&#8217;s political drama intensifies as PTI&#8217;s top brass from behind bars reaches out to Chief Justice Yahya Afridi for urgent relief on behalf of Imran Khan. In a strongly worded letter circulated via media outlets like Geo News, the party accuses the government of medical negligence and rights violations against the former premier.</p>



<p>Key signatories—Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhry, Umar Sarfraz Cheema, and Mahmood-ur-Rashid—detail how Khan, jailed since August 2023, is denied basic entitlements. Personal physicians are barred, family visits restricted, and legal counsel access curtailed, they claim, echoing longstanding party grievances.</p>



<p>Timing is critical: this follows Khan&#8217;s latest eye treatment at PIMS hospital, where he battles CRVO, with a Supreme Court document revealing 85% vision loss in one eye. PTI contrasts this with Nawaz Sharif&#8217;s 2019 case, where state facilities at Services Hospital included full personal doctor participation, open family access, and overseas travel approval for cardiac care.</p>



<p>The letter lambasts the regime for initial denials of Khan&#8217;s health issues, followed by grudging admissions post-diagnosis. Allegations fly of intentional hurdles to sustain &#8216;political dominance,&#8217; especially given the government&#8217;s perceived lack of public mandate.</p>



<p>PTI demands judicial oversight to guarantee Khan&#8217;s rights to private medical consultations, lawyer meetings, and family contact. This bold move from incarceration highlights PTI&#8217;s resilience and could pressure the judiciary amid rising calls for transparency in prisoner treatment. Observers watch closely, as any CJ action might signal broader reforms or fuel further unrest in Pakistan&#8217;s polarized arena.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>In a dramatic showdown outside Islamabad High Court, Imran Khan&#8217;s sister Aleema Khanum unleashed her anger at PTI&#8217;s top brass, demanding accountability for the secrecy cloaking her jailed brother&#8217;s medical care. The February 25 confrontation, flanked by sisters Uzma and Noreen, painted a picture of familial distress amid political intrigue.</p>



<p>Aleema&#8217;s core grievance? The party&#8217;s opaque approach to Imran&#8217;s health updates, especially following a recent treatment session that sparked outrage. &#8216;His well-being is our utmost priority,&#8217; she declared to reporters, stressing that family input must precede any decisions. Recalling Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi&#8217;s assurances of treatment, she slammed PTI for not verifying details, leaving everyone guessing.</p>



<p>Naqvi had previously accused Aleema of politicizing her brother&#8217;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&#8217;s cases.</p>



<p>Turning the spotlight inward, Aleema quizzed the whereabouts of key PTI figures: &#8216;Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Latif Khosa, and Ali Zafar—where have they vanished, and why aren&#8217;t they in court battling for Imran?&#8217; Her words echo the frustrations of supporters watching legal battles drag on.</p>



<p>KP Chief Minister Sohail Afriidi&#8217;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&#8217;s cohesion as Imran Khan&#8217;s health remains a flashpoint in Pakistan&#8217;s volatile politics.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Pakistan&#8217;s political landscape heated up as PTI, led by jailed founder Imran Khan, escalated its battle for his medical rights. On Wednesday, the party lodged a urgent petition in the Supreme Court, expressing deep discontent with the eye treatment provided to the ex-premier. The filing seeks court orders for Khan to be treated at Shifa International Hospital by retina experts and to consult trusted private doctors.</p>



<p>Submitted by advocate Sardar Latif Khosa post a recent checkup, the plea ties back to the Toshakhana corruption case that first jailed Khan in 2022. It lists the Islamabad election commissioner as defendant and outlines specific demands: immediate hospital transfer, involvement of Drs. Faisal Sultan and Asim Yusuf in procedures, family access during visits, and delivery of signed medical reports to lawyers.</p>



<p>Khosa painted a grim picture of Khan&#8217;s condition at 73, calling his declining health a worry for the nation. He slammed the government&#8217;s handling at PIMS hospital as shrouded in mystery, with zero updates to family or independent physicians. &#8216;This secretive approach is unacceptable and raises grave suspicions,&#8217; he stated firmly.</p>



<p>Background reveals Khan&#8217;s CRVO diagnosis in January, treated initially on the 24th but publicly acknowledged five days later. Critics, including PTI, have long alleged inadequate care and opacity, fueling demands for private medical input. Government rebuttals have fallen on deaf ears amid persistent outcry.</p>



<p>With Khan&#8217;s legal woes compounding, this Supreme Court bid represents PTI&#8217;s strategic push for accountability in healthcare for political detainees. Observers watch closely as the judiciary weighs in on balancing security with medical ethics.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The latest chapter in Pakistan&#8217;s political drama revolves around Imran Khan&#8217;s eye treatment, with PTI fiercely challenging the government&#8217;s secretive approach. Khan, the jailed PTI leader and ex-premier, received his second anti-VEGF injection at PIMS on February 24 amid heightened scrutiny.</p>



<p>diagnosed with CRVO in his right eye late last month, Khan&#8217;s first treatment on January 24 faced delayed disclosure, fueling opposition outrage. PTI alleges inadequate care, blocked private physician access, and opacity in reporting—charges the government dismisses outright.</p>



<p>Medical details paint a picture of thorough preparation: a panel of specialists, including cardiologists running ECGs and echoes, oversaw the process. Guidance came from vitreo-retinal experts at PIMS and Rawalpindi&#8217;s Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital. The outpatient procedure ended with Khan in stable condition and promptly discharged.</p>



<p>Contrast this with PTI&#8217;s preference for Islamabad&#8217;s Shifa International, where family doctors could intervene freely. Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry took to X to defend the move, emphasizing secure transport and compliance with all requirements. He disclosed the next dose for March 24.</p>



<p>PTI fired back on social media, decrying the &#8216;secrecy&#8217; and insisting it breeds suspicion. &#8216;What are they hiding?&#8217; the party asked, pushing for transparent, independent treatment at Shifa.</p>



<p>This back-and-forth highlights broader trust deficits in Pakistan&#8217;s establishment-opposition relations. Khan&#8217;s incarceration has amplified every health update into a national controversy, testing the limits of political discourse and medical ethics in a high-stakes environment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>In a bold show of solidarity, opposition lawmakers staged a vocal protest outside Pakistan&#8217;s Supreme Court on Monday, demanding better treatment for jailed PTI leader Imran Khan. The gathering spotlighted calls for expedited trials in his pending cases and permission for family and doctors to meet him amid health worries.</p>



<p>Key participants included Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, PTI&#8217;s Salman Akram Raja, Aamir Dogar, Ali Muhammad Khan, Shahid Khattak, and others from national and provincial assemblies. Since his incarceration in Adiala Jail over five months ago, Khan has faced multiple convictions, including 14 years for corruption tied to £190 million and another on state gifts.</p>



<p>Recent alarms over Khan&#8217;s CRVO eye ailment have fueled the outcry. Family and party members question jail-provided care, pushing for independent evaluations. TTPA&#8217;s social media post captured the scene: demonstrators insisting on immediate court dates, family access, and full medical probes by personal doctors.</p>



<p>Speaking to reporters, Salman Akram Raja expressed zero faith in state medical reports, particularly from PIMS, urging a complete body scan for the PTI founder. Ali Muhammad Khan passionately advocated hospital admission at Shifa International, symbolizing Khan&#8217;s vision as Pakistan&#8217;s hope.</p>



<p>Shahid Khattak lambasted the regime for politicizing healthcare, drawing parallels to Bushra Bibi&#8217;s detention. Court filings by PTI counsel Salman Safdar detail Khan&#8217;s stark warning: a blood clot has left his right eye with mere 15% sight, despite treatments.</p>



<p>This escalation reflects PTI&#8217;s unrelenting campaign against what they term judicial overreach. With promises of renewed court vigils, the movement signals no let-up in the fight for Khan&#8217;s rights, potentially reshaping Pakistan&#8217;s volatile political arena.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Tensions in Pakistan&#8217;s opposition camp reached a new pitch as a top Sindh government official declared that former Prime Minister Imran Khan holds the key to his own jail release. PPP heavyweight Sharjeel Inam Memon, addressing media in Karachi, linked Khan&#8217;s freedom directly to the conduct of his PTI supporters.</p>



<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s entirely up to Imran Khan and rests on PTI&#8217;s demeanor,&#8217; Memon remarked Sunday, amid unconfirmed reports of negotiation deals between rivals. The statement, covered by Dawn newspaper, highlights the blame game enveloping Khan&#8217;s prolonged detention and health woes.</p>



<p>Khan&#8217;s eye condition—diagnosed as CRVO—has sparked concerns since late January, with PTI alleging neglect. Memon offered prayers during Ramadan but chided PTI for prioritizing rallies outside Adiala Jail over substantive release strategies. &#8216;They should concentrate on getting Imran out instead of creating chaos,&#8217; he said.</p>



<p>Imprisoned since August 2023, Khan is serving 14 years for corruption related to undeclared state gifts, atop other cases from the May 9 riots. Memon slammed PTI&#8217;s online campaigns, which he said viciously attack leaders and state bodies globally. Advising restraint, he noted, &#8216;Refine your rhetoric. Abusing families crosses the line—rethink your approach for better outcomes.&#8217;</p>



<p>Echoing this, PPP&#8217;s Syed Hassan Murtaza recently vowed reprisals against smears. President Zardari mocked Khan&#8217;s complaints, urging him to endure jail &#8216;like a real man&#8217; after just under two years, without inciting blockades.</p>



<p>Global voices joined in, as 14 ex-cricketers urged authorities to free their former teammate. Sanaullah&#8217;s TV disclosure of aborted deals fueled speculation, promptly denied by Tarar.</p>



<p>With political temperatures soaring, Memon&#8217;s intervention spotlights PTI&#8217;s strategic missteps. As Khan&#8217;s supporters rally, the government digs in, questioning the opposition&#8217;s commitment to dialogue over disruption. The saga tests Pakistan&#8217;s fragile democratic balance, with no resolution in sight.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>In a bold political showdown, Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has put Khyber Pakhtunkhwa&#8217;s Chief Minister Sohail Afreedi on notice, threatening his job over the launch of the &#8216;Release Imran Khan Force.&#8217; Deeming it a blatant violation of the constitution, Asif underscored that only the central government holds the power to form such groups.</p>



<p>Local reports highlight Asif&#8217;s sharp critique: Afreedi&#8217;s move is merely a ploy to safeguard his own position amid mounting pressures. This comes hot on the heels of PTI&#8217;s recent protest withdrawal from Islamabad, where opposition alliances had camped out for days.</p>



<p>The minister categorically rejected any plans to transfer Imran Khan, jailed since August 2023, to foreign soil or his Islamabad mansion. &#8216;Such talks are shopkeeping tactics by opportunists,&#8217; Asif quipped, attributing them to facility-related inquiries at best.</p>



<p>Afreedi unveiled the force during a Supreme Court-adjacent media briefing, revealing Khan&#8217;s directive for him to spearhead street protests. He accused authorities of flouting judicial directives by blocking Khan&#8217;s private medical consultations.</p>



<p>Outlining the force&#8217;s structure, Afreedi promised official registration, peaceful operations under Khan&#8217;s command oversight, and post-Eid oath-taking in Peshawar. The group aims to champion constitutional rights, democratic values, and independent journalism through meticulous groundwork.</p>



<p>Currently lodged in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, after a Lahore-based corruption conviction, Khan&#8217;s plight continues to galvanize PTI supporters. Asif&#8217;s admonition underscores a federal crackdown on provincial overreach, potentially setting the stage for fiercer confrontations in Pakistan&#8217;s polarized arena.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>A storm of speculation has gripped Pakistan&#8217;s political corridors after aides to PM Shehbaz Sharif issued clashing statements on jailed PTI leader Imran Khan. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar moved swiftly to douse the flames, categorically denying any &#8216;deal&#8217; or softening of stance toward the former premier.</p>



<p>In a pointed X post, Tarar dismissed media hype as baseless. &#8216;Imran Khan is a convicted criminal, facing court-mandated punishment. Stories of leniency are unfounded lies,&#8217; he asserted. This comes as Khan endures a 14-year term in Adiala Jail for a massive corruption scandal involving $190 million, plus recent convictions on state gift misuse and looming trials over violent 2023 protests.</p>



<p>Triggering the uproar was Rana Sanaullah&#8217;s candid Aaj TV appearance, where the PM&#8217;s advisor admitted to multiple backchannel talks. Efforts after November 2024 unrest involved key figures like Mohsin Naqvi and Ali Amin Gandapur, but Khan&#8217;s &#8216;unreasonable demands&#8217; derailed progress. Sanaullah painted Khan as obstinate, noting a foreign-linked mediator who briefly won tentative agreement before Khan backed out.</p>



<p>PTI insiders reportedly pushed for January negotiations, vetoed by Khan himself. Adding fuel, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry rejected deals outright, per Dawn, while affirming openness to dialogue sans pressure. PTI&#8217;s health worries for Khan—citing a Supreme Court-noted 15% vision loss in one eye—prompted mentions of possible overseas treatment, strictly medical.</p>



<p>Tarar&#8217;s intervention reveals fault lines within the PML-N camp, as the government grapples with PTI&#8217;s enduring clout. With elections looming and tensions high, this episode signals deeper rifts that could reshape Pakistan&#8217;s volatile power dynamics.</p>

<p>Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly has joined a chorus of global cricket legends expressing grave concern over Imran Khan&#8217;s health while in Pakistani custody. The Bengal Tiger hopes for the PTI founder&#8217;s swift recovery and insists on dignified treatment.</p>



<p>During a media interaction, Ganguly remarked, &#8216;I sincerely wish for his health to improve with proper medical care. Imran elevated Pakistan&#8217;s global standing through cricket and politics. He must be cared for with the honor due to him.&#8217;</p>



<p>Earlier, 14 ex-captains penned a unified appeal to Pakistan&#8217;s authorities. Signatories like Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Chappell brothers, and others demanded expert medical intervention for Khan, jailed since 2023 amid alarming health reports, notably vision impairment.</p>



<p>&#8216;We are deeply concerned by news of his serious health deterioration, especially eyesight issues during detention,&#8217; their statement declared. It stressed the need for continuous specialist care, legal protections, humane conditions, and family access per global norms.</p>



<p>Praising Khan&#8217;s indelible mark, the group recalled his 1992 World Cup heroics: &#8216;That victory embodied talent, leadership, and spirit.&#8217; They affirmed his status as an elected PM and cricket superstar, urging respect irrespective of political divides.</p>



<p>The appeal wrapped up with a poignant reminder: &#8216;Cricket unites nations; post-match respect is paramount. We implore officials to honor fairness and humanity.&#8217; Ganguly&#8217;s stance reinforces this cricketing fraternity&#8217;s push for compassion, highlighting enduring field rivalries giving way to mutual admiration.</p>

<p>Fourteen iconic former captains of international cricket teams have united in a heartfelt letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, voicing grave worries about Imran Khan&#8217;s welfare in prison. Spearheaded by Greg Chappell, the group boasts Indian stalwarts Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev alongside Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain, and others like Clive Lloyd and Steve Waugh.</p>



<p>Imran Khan, the 1992 World Cup-winning skipper and ex-Pakistan PM, commands universal admiration for revolutionizing the game with his skill and unyielding spirit. The captains laud his democratic rise to power, insisting politics should not eclipse his achievements.</p>



<p>Disturbing updates on his eye health decline during detention have sparked this intervention. &#8216;As cricketers, we cherish fair play and dignity,&#8217; they assert, decrying the subpar conditions unfit for a figure of Khan&#8217;s caliber.</p>



<p>Their demands are clear and urgent: Provide top-tier medical experts promptly, enforce global jail standards with family access, and guarantee swift, impartial justice. &#8216;Cricket unites; respect persists beyond the pitch,&#8217; the letter poignantly notes, invoking shared cricketing bonds.</p>



<p>This isn&#8217;t a political meddle but a nod to humanity and the gentleman&#8217;s game. Imran&#8217;s legacy as a leader on and off the field deserves no less. With signatories spanning eras and nations, the message to Sharif is unequivocal—act with grace to safeguard a living legend&#8217;s health and honor.</p>
