'Imran Khan would not have spent three years in jail if he wanted a deal,' says Barrister Gohar
PTI says the government violated a court order and seeks contempt action after Imran Khan was taken to PIMS instead of Shifa International Hospital.
- On Monday, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan denied any deal with the government, arguing that founder Imran Khan would not have spent three years in jail if he had wanted to negotiate one.
- Despite the Supreme Court's August 18 order directing Imran's transfer to Shifa International Hospital for treatment and family access, the government moved him to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences on August 21, citing security concerns.
- Calling the transfer "a clear violation," Gohar noted that PTI approached the apex court 15 times and high courts 25 times, while doctors at PIMS declared Imran "medically fit" following examination.
- Authorities returned Imran to Adiala Jail after the medical examination, as the government called the Supreme Court's order "discriminatory in nature" and maintained security concerns justified the PIMS venue.
- The PTI filed a contempt petition seeking urgent Supreme Court intervention, with meetings between Imran and visitors suspended for around 10 months as the party prioritizes his health.
