Tension gripped Islamabad as fervent supporters of Imran Khan converged on the Supreme Court Monday, protesting his jail conditions and pushing for family-doctor access. Opposition voices from PTI and allies demanded instant case hearings and thorough health assessments for the imprisoned leader.
Prominent attendees: Senate’s Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, PTI chief organizer Salman Akram Raja, Aamir Dogar, lawmakers Ali Muhammad Khan, Shahid Khattak, Shafiuallah Jan, and Muhammad Hussain. Detained in Adiala since August 2023, Khan endures a 14-year corruption sentence over £190 million and a recent state gifts verdict.
January’s revelation of CRVO in his right eye sparked panic, with PTI rejecting jail medics. TTPA amplified the rally online, showcasing calls for personal physician exams, family visits, and trial urgency—dismissing PIMS findings as unreliable.
Raja told media PTI trusts no official narrative, advocating full-body scans. Ali Muhammad Khan pleaded for Shifa Hospital transfer: ‘Leaders’ eyes light Pakistan’s path.’ Khattak blasted treatment delays as arrogant politics, linking to Bushra Bibi’s case, vowing court returns.
Safdar’s court submission details Khan’s account: clot-induced damage leaves 15% right-eye vision. This defiance highlights PTI’s grassroots strength amid crackdowns.
In a nation reeling from polls and power plays, the protest revives debates on Khan’s ouster, judicial fairness, and health rights in custody—poised for broader fallout.
