Adiala Jail authorities on Thursday termed the rumours regarding the health of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan as baseless.
They said that PTI founder Imran Khan is in Adiala Jail and “hale and hearty”.
“There is no truth to the rumours regarding his health, and his well-being is fully taken care of,” the authorities added.
Earlier on Wednesday, PTI strongly reacted to rumours circulating about the well-being of the former Prime Minister and PTI founder Imran Khan.
In its response, PTI stated that vicious rumours regarding the founder’s health are being spread by Afghan and Indian media. The party has demanded that the government and the Interior Ministry immediately refute these rumours and has also called for allowing an immediate meeting between the PTI founder and his family.
PTI spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram demanded that the government issue an official statement regarding the PTI founder’s health and safety. He said that those spreading these rumours should be investigated and the facts should be presented before the nation. He added that the nation will not tolerate any ambiguity regarding its leader.
He further said that it is the government’s responsibility to ensure the founder’s safety and protect his fundamental rights. He added that every legal and political step will be taken to put an end to these rumours and bring the truth to light.
