As the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) faces internal rifts following a “do-or-die” protest, Faisal Chaudhry, the lawyer of incarcerated party founder Imran Khan, has slammed the former National Assembly deputy speaker Qasim Suri over misleading tweets about the ousted premier’s health conditions. The lawyer said any PTI leader — be it Qasim Suri — must consult with the party’s top leadership before issuing a statement regarding the jailed party founder. Chaudhry further said that Suri’s tweets make things “more difficult for people sitting here”.The former NA deputy speaker, in a post on his official X handle, claimed: “Imran Khan has been given something that threatens to disrupt his mental balance, locked in a small room and sprayed with a poisonous substance whose smell is affecting his mind. Imran Khan’s health is bad and there are serious threats to his life.” Reacting to the statement, the former ruling party issued a statement and said Suri shared alarming reports about Imran from his sources. “We urgently demand a transparent update on Imran’s condition, followed by a thorough medical examination led by Dr Aasim Yousif.” The party further claimed that Imran Khan was currently cut off from his family, deprived of essential medical care, denied basic facilities, and with no reliable evidence of his well-being. “His isolation raises serious human rights concerns and questions the intentions behind such treatment, as this is equivalent to putting his life at risk,” it added. However, PTI leaders including chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan rebutted the claims that Khan’s health deteriorated in the prison, stating he is in good health. Earlier today, Aleema Khan — Imran’s sister — also refuted such claims after meeting with the former prime minister in Adiala Jail. Speaking to journalists, she dismissed rumours about the PTI founder’s deteriorating health conditions, saying that Imran is “totally fine”.
