PTI Activists and Doctors Demand Imran Khan’s Immediate Transfer to Shifa International Hospital

Detailed Report

  • The Medical Mobilization: The Insaf Doctors Forum alongside all foundational wings of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have launched coordinated street protests demanding the immediate release and comprehensive medical care of party founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. The development was formalized during a joint press conference in Peshawar led by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shafi Jan and provincial Health Minister Mian Khaliqur Rehman.

  • Transfer to Shifa International Demanded: Provincial authorities revealed that the former prime minister has been suffering from a persistent eye ailment for the past four months, with one eye still showing zero signs of full recovery. The ministers accused the federal administration of deliberately withholding authentic public health bulletins and repeatedly denying Khan access to his personal physicians. Consequently, PTI has issued a formal demand for the immediate transfer of both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for definitive medical diagnostics and treatment.

The Protest Mandate Vested in Achakzai: In a major tactical shift, Shafi Jan announced that PTI has officially handed over complete decision-making authority regarding the timeline and scale of the national protest movement to Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai. "Whenever he issues orders, whether to block roads or launch a long march, we will fully support him," Jan declared, signaling a highly aggressive phase of opposition agitation.

  • Economic Condemnation and the Iran War: Turning to macroeconomic grievances, the KP Information Minister leveled sharp criticism against the federal government's fiscal management. Jan noted that while the multi-front U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has fundamentally destabilized regional energy matrices, Pakistan's rulers weaponized the crisis to inflate domestic petrol prices overnight, characterizing the sudden price hikes as an unfair economic burden designed to benefit a select elite.

  • Asymmetric Double Standards: To highlight what they termed political victimization, the provincial ministers drew sharp contrasts with the incarceration conditions of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif during PTI's previous tenure. Jan asserted that despite his imprisonment, Sharif was afforded extensive privileges, including up to 150 daily visitors, unrestricted meetings with Maryam Nawaz, and adjacent barrack placements—amenities they claim are systematically stripped from Imran Khan.
