Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan's sister Uzma Khan says he is in good health post her meeting with her brother

Rawalpindi, Dec 2 (UNI) Easing Pakistan's nationwide tensions concerning the well-being of its incarcerated former premier and founder of the highly politically prominent faction Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan, Uzma Khan, the ex-PM's sister, confirmed that he is currently in good health, after the PTI held massive protests outside the Rawalpindi-based Adiala Jail, where Khan is currently incarcerated.
"I will provide in-depth updates after consultations with my sisters (Aleema Khan and Noreen Khan)," she said while speaking to reporters outside the prison complex, after meeting her brother.
The meeting came shortly after prison authorities greenlit Khan's request to meet the PTI founder, following a hiatus that has spanned weeks, with many speculations arising nationwide concerning Imran Khan's safety.
