Islamabad: Concerns related to the health of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan are once again in the news. The news of poor eyesight of jailed Imran Khan has unsettled the political circles as well as his supporters. According to the information, after increasing eye problems, preparations are being made to take him to the eye hospital for special treatment. Meanwhile, there is also a possibility that he may meet his wife Bushra Bibi during the treatment, which is being considered a sensitive and important step.

Since when have eye problems been occurring?

According to sources, Imran Khan had been continuously experiencing problems in his eyes for some time. It is said that along with difficulty in reading and writing, irritation and blurring of eyes in light has increased. Initial medical examination revealed the need for a detailed eye examination, after which it was decided to seek advice from specialist doctors.

Why is preparation for going to eye hospital considered necessary?

Due to limited resources in the jail, detailed eye examination is not considered possible. For this reason, a plan has been made to shift Imran Khan to a hospital where he can be examined with modern equipment. Doctors believe that if timely treatment is not done, eye problems can become more serious.

Were questions raised about health earlier also?

This is not the first time that questions have been raised about Imran Khan's health. Even before this, there have been reports about his back pain, stomach related problems and fatigue. PTI leaders have been alleging that their health has been affected due to being in jail for a long time and mental pressure.

Why is the discussion of meeting Bushra Bibi important?

As per the report by News18, a possible meeting with Bushra Bibi during treatment is being considered important from a humanitarian point of view. Both of them have not met for a long time. Supporters say that such a meeting is necessary for Imran Khan's mental health, especially at a time when he is undergoing serious medical examination.

What is the reaction of the party and supporters?

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has raised questions on the government and jail administration regarding the deteriorating health of Imran Khan. The party says that he should get timely and proper treatment. Even on social media, supporters are raising questions about his condition and demanding transparency from the government.

What does the government side say?

Government sources say that Imran Khan is being provided all necessary medical facilities as per the rules. According to the officials, further action will be taken as per the advice of the medical board and no negligence will be done in the treatment.

Will the picture be clear in the coming days?

After examination in the eye hospital, it will become clear how serious Imran Khan's eye problem is and what kind of treatment he needs. Also, a final decision can be taken regarding meeting Bushra Bibi. At present, every update related to his health is giving rise to a new discussion in the politics of Pakistan.
