Event Summary

Rana Sanaullah, an adviser to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, revealed that jailed former premier Imran Khan was offered two political 'deals' but declined both. The first attempt involved Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and then-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, while the second was initiated by foreign individuals. Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, however, denied any ongoing deal or leniency for Imran Khan, stating he is a convicted criminal. Meanwhile, Imran Khan's family and his party, Pakistan===Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, are demanding eye treatment for him at Shifa Hospital in Islamabad, citing significant vision loss. His sister, Noreen Khan, accused General Asim Munir of directing mistreatment, alleging 'illegitimate and un-Islamic rule' in Pakistan. Imran Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023 in multiple cases.
