Ex-Pak PM Imran Khan's party demands immediate medical care for him

PESHAWAR: (Mar 14) Former Pakistan premier Imran Khan's party on Friday demanded immediate medical treatment for the jailed leader, who is believed to be suffering from an ailment in the right eye.

At a press conference, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi called for the 73-year-old Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder's treatment at the Shifa International Hospital under the supervision of his personal physicians and in the presence of his family members.

This comes a day after a high court rejected a petition to shift Khan to the private medical hospital and ordered the constitution of a team of doctors to medically examine him.
