Imran Khan’s sisters, Dr. Uzma Khan and Aleema Khan, have levelled serious allegations against the Pakistani government and military of planning a “lethal conspiracy” to “kill” the imprisoned politician and former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. While addressing a press conference, they spoke against the Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi, alleging “a lethal conspiracy against the former Prime Minister and star cricketer.
Dr. Uzma Khan disclosed that during a recent meeting, Imran Khan told her, “These people will kill me, they have made a plan to kill me.”
Aleema Khan also spoke about the health concerns her brother is facing in jail. She described the Khan’s deteriorating eye health, saying that he is being denied the opportunity to meet his trusted medical staff.
Both sisters rejected reports submitted by Pakistan government-appointed doctors. They also demanded that Imran Khan be checked and treated under their supervision by his personal doctors, Dr. Asim and Dr. Faisal, at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad.
Aleema Khan said, “you have sent a team of doctors to the jail and ask us to accept it, or to accept the report provided by those doctors, that will not happen.”
During the press briefing, Uzma Khan cited threats the family is receiving from Mohsin Naqvi. She also issued a warning against the PCB Chief.
“Mohsin Naqvi is threatening us; they have tasted blood. If anything happens to Imran Khan or to us, mark my words, we will not spare anyone’s future generations either.”
The sisters were also livid about the government’s denial of a family representative during Imran Khan’s medical checkup.
Aleema clarified, “the government rejected the specialist recommended by our doctors, so they were provided with alternative names… We then gave them our cousin Nausherwan Burki’s name to represent the family. We are very disturbed when they rejected his name as well. This is unacceptable!”
These accusations have further escalated the existing political impasse between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and the government led by Shehbaz Sharif. The accusations come against the backdrop of rising international concern about the health of Imran Khan.
Cricketing legends such as Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Sunil Gavaskar, and Kapil Dev have demanded urgent attention to ensure that the former PM is safe and receives proper medical care.
Imran Khan has been in jail since August 2023 in multiple cases. The Pakistani government has denied any concerns about Imran Khan’s health. A two-member team of government-appointed doctors, after inspecting Imran Khan, found that his right eye vision without glasses was 6/24 partial, whereas his left eye vision was 6/9.
