ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - A resolution concerning the health of the PTI Founder Imran Khan was rejected in the Senate of Pakistan, prompting a strong protest from opposition senators.
The resolution, moved by PTI Senator Aun Abbas Bappi, faced government opposition and was ultimately dismissed. Following the rejection, PTI senators gathered at the chairman’s dais, raising slogans and staging a protest.
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah stated that the opposition leader wanted to discuss the PTI founder’s health in the House, and the Supreme Court report had already clarified his living conditions.
According to the report submitted to the Supreme Court, the PTI founder’s security in jail is adequate, and medical checks are being conducted regularly both by jail doctors and external physicians, with 25 external check-ups completed so far.

Opposition leader Allama Raja Nasser Abbas criticized the handling of the matter, claiming the doctors conducting the check-ups were not specialists and that the founder’s family and lawyers were not properly informed. He emphasized that sudden vision loss could not occur abruptly and called for accountability regarding the treatment and medical monitoring of political prisoners.
The government assured the Senate that any directives issued by the Supreme Court regarding additional medical examinations would be fully implemented.
