KP CM Raises Concerns Over Imran Khan's Health, Demands Access

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has voiced grave concerns regarding the official medical report on the health of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, stating that the findings have caused widespread unease across Pakistan. Afridi emphasized that Khan's personal physicians, Dr. Asim and Dr. Faisal, had previously recorded his blood pressure as consistently normal during their examinations.

The chief minister pointed to a significant discrepancy between these previous assessments and the elevated blood pressure reported in the official medical update. This inconsistency, he argued, raises serious questions about Khan's actual health condition, particularly given that neither his family members, lawyers, nor personal doctors have been permitted to see him since December 2, 2025.

Afridi noted that Imran Khan, a former sportsman known for his active lifestyle, had no prior history of such health issues. The current concerns, he stated, have emerged only during his incarceration. This situation has amplified public worry and led to questions about the transparency of his medical care.

Furthermore, Afridi linked Khan's situation to the broader state of the justice system. "For 250 million people, the judiciary remains the last avenue of hope," he stated, questioning the confidence ordinary citizens can have in the system if a former prime minister and the country's most popular political leader cannot receive justice. He appealed to the judiciary to ensure that scheduled meetings between Khan and his legal team or family proceed without obstruction, reiterating demands for access for his personal doctors and treatment at a top hospital under their supervision.

Separately, leaders from the Tehreek-i-Tahaffuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) also held a press conference, criticizing the incumbent government's economic and political policies. They alleged that the country is facing severe financial difficulties and that all cases against Imran Khan are fabricated. TTAP leaders claimed the system has collapsed, with 120 million people living below the poverty line, and called for free and fair elections.

For 250 million people, the judiciary remains the last avenue of hope. If a former prime minister, the leader of the country’s largest political party and its most popular political leader cannot receive justice, what confidence can an ordinary citizen place in the justice system?
