Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan may be shifted to a hospital in the coming days for a medical examination amid concerns about his health, according to jail sources and his legal team.
According to sources, PTI lawyers Sardar Latif Khosa and Barrister Salman Safdar held a nearly four-hour-long meeting with Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, at Adiala Jail on Wednesday.
The meeting covered Imran Khan's health, ongoing legal cases, the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment and other important political and national issues.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Latif Khosa and Salman Safdar confirmed that they had held an extended meeting with the PTI founder and his wife.
Sources further said that Imran Khan expressed support for the proposal to create new provinces in the country.
Preparations for a possible medical examination at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and the lengthy meeting with his legal team have also raised expectations of possible developments amid the country's ongoing political tensions.
Political observers believe that tensions between the ruling alliance and opposition parties, including PTI, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Awami National Party (ANP), could ease if dialogue and meetings between political stakeholders remain possible.
The meeting is being viewed in political circles as a potentially significant development that could help break the existing political deadlock and shape the future course of negotiations.
During the meeting, Imran Khan also reportedly expressed satisfaction with the facilities being provided to him in jail.
Sources indicated that contacts between the legal team and other relevant stakeholders could intensify in the coming days, potentially influencing political stability and constitutional matters in the country.
However, no official confirmation has been provided regarding the date of Imran Khan's possible transfer to PIMS.
