Legal advisor Naeem Panjutha confirmed the petition targets key government figures, including the prime minister and law minister, for ignoring the bench’s explicit instructions. The original order mandated Khan’s transfer from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital for urgent medical evaluation. Instead, officials diverted the former leader to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), a decision the party views as a deliberate breach of judicial authority.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar defended the deviation by citing security protocols, yet the shift has intensified public unrest. Supporters continue to organize protests across the country, demanding Khan remain under private medical care until mid-September. Khan has been held since August 2023 on charges his legal team maintains are politically motivated.
