Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar has said that former prime minister Imran Khan did not undergo any surgical procedure at PIMS and was only administered injections as part of his medical treatment.

Responding to questions regarding Imran Khan’s health during a Senate session on Tuesday, the minister said the PTI founder himself had expressed a wish to receive treatment at PIMS hospital.

He added that if any similar medical issue arises in the future, Imran Khan will be provided with all necessary medical facilities.

The minister said that if Imran Khan believes he has been denied any rights or has grievances, appropriate courts and appellate tribunals are available for legal recourse.

Clarifying reports about Imran Khan’s eye infection, the law minister said that blood circulation problems in the eyes are common after the age of 60.

He said Imran Khan was given the same injections which are routinely administered to other patients and stressed that no operation had been performed.

Denying allegations of mistreatment, Azam Nazeer Tarar said no one is being treated unlawfully.

He said Imran Khan is currently in jail following his conviction and is entitled to all facilities under the law.

Tarar added that the prime minister never instructed authorities to withhold medical facilities from the PTI founder.

Instead, the prime minister directed the PIMS director to issue a fact-based press release to inform the public of the actual situation.

Tarar said that Imran Khan’s health is stable and expressed hope for his full recovery.

Referring to the case of senior PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah, Tarar said Sanaullah was arrested in a false narcotics case during PTI’s government and was kept in an extremely hot room despite suffering an eye stroke days earlier.
