Recent developments have escalated the situation surrounding Imran Khan's health, with massive protests erupting across Pakistan following alarming reports that he has lost approximately 85% of vision in his right eye. Supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party have blocked major highways and staged sit-ins near Parliament in Islamabad, demanding immediate medical access for Khan. His family has alleged mistreatment in prison, claiming that he is being subjected to 'unimaginable mistreatment' while the government continues to deny the severity of his condition. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has dismissed the opposition's claims as exaggerated and politically motivated, asserting that Khan is receiving 'full medical care.' However, a Supreme Court-appointed lawyer's report indicated that Khan's vision has deteriorated to just 15%, prompting his family to demand urgent medical attention, which they claim has been ignored by authorities.
