The sisters of jailed former PM Imran Khan have accused the government of a conspiracy to murder him. Expressing concern over Khan’s deteriorating health, he has demanded personal treatment. The government has termed these allegations as baseless.
Islamabad: Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is at the center of a new political storm. His sisters have publicly accused top officials of the country of conspiring to harm or kill them in custody. During a press conference in Islamabad, Dr Uzma Khan and Alima Khan directly named Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. He said the men were part of a “murderous conspiracy” against his brother. He accused Naqvi of threatening him and hatching a well-planned conspiracy to end Imran’s life in jail.
Imran Khan’s condition worsens in Adiala jail
These sensational allegations have come at a time when there is increasing concern over the deteriorating health of Imran Khan, lodged in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail. According to the sisters, Khan has told them that people in the government want to cause serious harm to them. Uzma stated the seriousness of her claims, saying, “These people will kill me; they have planned to kill me.” The sisters also complained that they were not being allowed to meet their trusted personal doctors. He says that government medical teams cannot be trusted to give correct information about Khan’s condition.
According to reports, Imran Khan himself is suffering from vision problems and other health problems, which has increased the fear among his supporters and family that his life is in danger. The sisters have reiterated their demand that they be shifted from jail to a hospital – preferably Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad – where their own medical team can take care of them and relatives can also be present. However, officials have so far rejected these demands, further increasing suspicion among Khan’s supporters.
This situation has increased political tension in Pakistan. The allegations have drawn international attention and condemnation from some parts of the world of cricket and politics. Many big personalities, including cricket legends like Wasim Akram and Kapil Dev, have expressed concern over Khan’s health and demanded better treatment and transparency. These voices are increasing pressure on the government to respond to claims of abuse and ensure Khan’s safety.
Home Minister Naqvi rejected the allegations of Imran’s sisters
Home Minister Naqvi has tried to refute these things. He dismissed rumors about the former prime minister’s health as “baseless propaganda” and insisted he had been given proper medical care. He said the medical examination was thorough and Imran was treated by qualified experts. At the same time, he also rejected claims that his office threatened the family or conspired against Khan.
Yet, the starkly differing statements from the government and Khan’s family reflect a deep crisis of trust in Pakistan’s political and judicial processes. The former prime minister remains a polarizing figure – his supporters worship him and his opponents criticize him – but the current story is no longer just about politics, it is about allegations of state-sponsored threats against life, health and a high-profile political leader.
