PESHAWAR: Special Assistant to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister for Information, Shafi Jan, on Thursday accused the federal government of obstructing jailed Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s access to his personal doctor, describing it as a violation of his fundamental human rights.

In a statement, Jan said the federal authorities secretly transferred Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to Islamabad’s Pims Hospital without informing his family or lawyers. He described confirmation of the transfer by Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar as a “charge sheet” against the federal government, exposing what PTI called repeated false statements regarding the former prime minister’s health.

Jan claimed that the denial of medical access, coupled with restrictions on family and legal visits, amounted to “criminal negligence” by the federal and Punjab governments, as well as jail authorities. He said the PTI would consider a “tough course of action” if the government continued to prevent access to Imran Khan’s personal doctor.
The aide further criticized what he described as politically motivated actions by the federal and Punjab administrations, saying they ignored clear court orders on meetings with the jailed leader. He added that KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi visited Adiala Jail on Thursday to meet Imran Khan but was not permitted to do so.

Jan said the former prime minister’s politics focused on public welfare, democracy, and economic sovereignty, contrasting it with the federal government’s alleged focus on political revenge. He also criticized the Punjab government’s handling of the health sector, calling it “on the brink of collapse” and citing a Chief Minister’s Inspection Team report as evidence of mismanagement.
