Pakistan pledges 'no negligence' over Imran Khan's eyesight complaint

Rawalpindi, Feb 13 (UNI) Pakistan's Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry on Friday pledged "zero negligence" on the caring of PTI founder and former PM Imran Khan's alleged near-blindness, stating that the former premier would be taken wherever he chooses for the best medical treatment, to cure his ailing sight, alleged to be operational at little more than 15 per cent.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Chaudhry added that the incarcerated ex-premier would be taken "Wherever he wants to go for a check-up, he will be taken. If he wants to go to Al-Shifa Eye Trust, he will be taken there. If the Chief Justice recommends a doctor, he will be taken there."
The remarks came a day after a two-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, headed by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi, was informed by PTI counsel Advocate Salman Safdar that Khan had been left with only "15 per cent vision" in his right eye, prompting massive criticism from the political opposition, which has accused the authorities in Adiala Jail of neglecting medical care.
