Asif said the assessment had not been welcomed by Imran's supporters, particularly those overseas, who he accused of trying to create “an atmosphere of sorrow and anxiety” to trigger panic and protests.
He alleged that the aim was to create a crisis that could lead to a change of government and pave the way for Imran's political comeback.
“Their hopes have been dashed,” Asif said. He further alleged that efforts were continuing through foreign media to portray Imran's health as seriously deteriorating. A hoax they desperately need,” he said.
