Tarar rejects media reports of deal with PTI founder

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar has said PTI founder Imran Khan is a convicted criminal and news regarding any concession or deal with him is baseless.

Tarar denied media reports regarding the PTI founder's deal, saying that it is completely wrong to give the impression of any concession to Imran Khan.

The minister said that there is neither a deal nor a concession to Imran Khan, and there is no truth in these news reports based on a deal.

Earlier, Tarar said that the PTI founder’s health condition is not alarming. Sensationalism was spread on social media regarding his health, whereas the PTI founder’s condition is much improved, he added.

He said that whatever issue [regarding PTI founder’s health] existed has now been resolved, and PTI leaders were briefed about his health.

Tarar said that the matters related to health should not be politicized. He added that in the past, they used to say they would even remove the air conditioning from the cell of the then incarcerated PML-N president.

He said that Imran Khan’s health concerns were also examined by medical experts and that his party leaders were given a briefing in this regard.
