Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sister Noreen Niazi was shifted from Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology on Wednesday after experiencing heart-related discomfort, her lawyer said.
Lawyer Rana Mudassar Umar said Noreen complained of discomfort in her heart while in detention at Kot Lakhpat jail, prompting authorities to transfer her to the hospital for medical attention.
He added that doctors were conducting her initial medical tests to assess her condition.
Noreen and her sister Uzma Khan have been detained under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance, 1960, since September 21. Both were taken into custody in Lahore before being shifted to Kot Lakhpat jail.
Their detention came a day after police arrested their sister, Aleema Khan, under the same law in Lahore.
The arrests took place ahead of PTI’s nationwide protest, which included a planned long march towards Islamabad on September 27. The party had called for Imran Khan’s release and the supremacy of the Constitution.
The Punjab government recently extended the detention of all three sisters by another 30 days, according to a report submitted to the Lahore High Court (LHC).
Aleema Khan’s son, Shahrez Khan, had challenged the detention of the former prime minister’s sisters before the LHC.
The court subsequently disposed of the petition after reviewing a report from the Punjab home secretary confirming the extension of their detention.
The news regarding the transfer of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) founder, Imran Khan, to Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, is fake, as senior journalist Mona Alam has confirmed it.
Senior journalist and television anchor Mona Alam rejected the claims made by Meher Bukhari, who herself is also a senior journalist.
Meher Bukhari, in her tweet, claimed that the former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan is about to be shifted to Shifa International Hospital very soon.
She said that large-scale preparations had been completed at the hospital for Imran Khan’s possible stay.
She added that a large basement area, covering thousands of square feet, had been specially prepared for the former prime minister’s medical care.
The claims prompted speculation on social media, with various reports and comments circulating about Imran Khan’s possible transfer to the hospital.
However, Mona Alam rejected the claims of the senior anchor, saying that the claims were not accurate and the news spread by Meher Bukhari is completely fake.
