Imran Khan may be shifted to hospital in coming days, sources say
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, who is currently imprisoned at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, may be transferred to a hospital for medical treatment within the next few days, according to jail sources and his legal team.
Lawyers Sardar Latif Khosa and Barrister Salman Safdar met Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, on Wednesday.
The meeting lasted around four hours, during which they discussed his health, ongoing legal cases, the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment and other political and national issues.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Khosa and Safdar confirmed that the discussions had taken place.
Sources said Imran Khan also expressed support for the proposal to create new provinces in the country.
Preparations for a medical examination at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), along with the lengthy meeting with his legal team, have raised the possibility of confidence-building measures between the government and opposition amid ongoing political tensions.
Political circles believe dialogue among the ruling coalition and opposition parties, including PTI, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, Pakistan Muslim League-Q and Awami National Party, could help ease the current deadlock.
Sources further said Imran Khan expressed satisfaction with the facilities being provided to him in jail.
Interactions between his legal team and other relevant stakeholders are expected to increase in the coming days, potentially influencing discussions on political stability and constitutional matters.
