ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has said the government has neither a deal nor any leniency for Imran Khan, adding that the only route to the PTI founder’s release is through the courts.
Speaking to the media at Parliament House, the minister said Imran Khan had access to medical examination facilities. He added that Barrister Salman Safdar was a lawyer but had been acting as a medical expert in the media.
He reiterated that the only way for the PTI founder to secure his release was through the courts, stressing that the government had neither offered him a deal nor granted him any special concession.
Chaudhry said Imran Khan’s release could become possible if Salman Safdar focused on legal points. He added that Safdar had acknowledged that the PTI founder had access to medical check-ups.
The minister said the government had neither neglected Imran Khan’s treatment in the past nor would it do so in the future. He claimed that the former prime minister had been taken to hospital six times even before the Supreme Court issued its order for his hospitalisation.
He further said that when necessary, a doctor had been summoned from London over Imran Khan’s blood pressure concerns. He maintained that Khan had received treatment according to the medical standards required for his condition.
