The personal physician of former Prime Minister Imran Khan said Monday that while a team of doctors has reported an “improvement” in Khan’s eyesight, he is unable to independently verify the claim because authorities have not allowed him access to the jailed. Dr Aasim Yusuf made the comments in a video posted on X, a day after eye specialists examined Khan at Adiala prison in Rawalpindi. The examination was conducted following directives from the Supreme Court of Pakistan, reports UNB. Concerns over Khan’s vision arose after the government disclosed he had undergone a minor eye procedure. Some PTI lawmakers and allies have staged a sit-in outside parliament, demanding that Khan be transferred to a hospital.
