A public family uprising against PTI leadership unfolded in Islamabad as Aleema Khanum led a vocal protest over the clandestine management of brother Imran Khan’s jail medical treatment. Joined by Uzma and Noreen Khanum at the High Court, her February 25 media address laid bare the anguish gripping the Khan household.
Central to her fury was the party’s ‘secrecy’ in recent treatment protocols, excluding family from vital updates. ‘Decisions on his care can’t proceed without his nod,’ Aleema asserted, framing health as the paramount issue amid Imran’s detention. Geo News captured her grilling of absent leaders.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s prior boasts of treatment rang hollow, as PTI couldn’t substantiate claims, prompting Aleema’s retort: ‘Why the silence on treatment details?’ She alleged neglect of family-suggested doctors and facilities, amplifying distrust.
With opposition hammering for prompt case hearings, Aleema zeroed in on PTI’s legal team: ‘Gohar Ali Khan, Latif Khosa, Ali Zafar—where are they hiding, and why skip the fights?’ The sisters had come for case updates, underscoring urgency.
KP CM Sohail Afriidi’s bid to confer with Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar intensified the scene. This rift reveals fault lines in PTI, where personal loyalties clash with political strategy, casting long shadows over the party’s future in Pakistan’s turbulent landscape.
