Islamabad – In recent days, alarming reports regarding the health and safety of former Prime Minister Imran Khan circulated widely through Afghan and Indian media outlets, as well as certain unverified foreign social media accounts. These reports suggested that Khan’s life was at risk or that he was facing serious health issues, causing widespread concern and speculation within Pakistan’s political circles and among the general public. However, all such claims have now been proven false.
PTI Demands Transparency
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) issued an urgent response condemning the rumors as vile and politically motivated. The party demanded that the Government of Pakistan and the Ministry of Interior immediately issue a clear and official denial of these false claims and ensure access for Imran Khan’s family to meet him. PTI emphasized that any ambiguity regarding the safety of their leader is unacceptable and pledged to take all legal and political measures to ensure the truth is fully disclosed to the public.

Official Confirmation of Safety
Official statements from the Superintendent of Adiala Jail have confirmed that Imran Khan is completely healthy and safe. A formal press release regarding his current status is expected shortly. These official statements directly refute the reports circulated by foreign media and underscore the Pakistani authorities’ commitment to transparency and public reassurance.
The Timing and Political Context
The timing of these rumors coincided with procedural developments in the Toshakhana-II case, in which Imran Khan was scheduled to appear at Adiala Jail. The court session was postponed, with a new date to be announced later. While this delay is procedural and unrelated to Khan’s health, the lack of immediate official communication may have inadvertently contributed to the spread of misinformation.
Analysts suggest that these rumors were part of a coordinated narrative, primarily propagated by Afghan and Indian media as well as social media platforms, aimed at influencing public perception and destabilizing Pakistan’s political environment. Given Imran Khan’s significant influence and the large following of PTI, unchecked rumors of this nature have the potential to create public panic and political unrest.

In conclusion, foreign media reports suggesting serious health issues or threats to Imran Khan have been officially denied. PTI has demanded transparency and legal accountability for those spreading false information, while Adiala Jail officials have confirmed Khan’s full health and safety. This incident underscores the broader challenge of managing politically motivated misinformation in the modern era of rapid global news circulation.
