A dispute has reportedly emerged between the family and party leadership of PTI founder Imran Khan over the handling of information related to his health.According to sources, Imran Khan’s elder sister, Aleema Khan, has issued directions that no party leader should hold meetings or provide updates regarding the PTI founder’s medical condition.

She is said to have maintained that the matter of his health concerns the family, not the party, so she barred the party leaders from meeting Imran Khan in jail or hospital.Sources further claimed that Aleema Khan took strong exception to meetings held by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan with doctors and questioned the capacity in which he had been engaging with medical professionals.

She reportedly asked under what authority he was seeking briefings on former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s condition.She warned Barrister Gohar that from now on he should refrain from holding any meetings related to the PTI founder’s health at Adiala Jail or at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS).

According to the sources, Aleema Khan has made it clear that any policy statement regarding Imran Khan’s health would be issued solely by the family and that the party would not be authorised to release such updates. Yesterday, speaking to the media at the Dahgal Checkpoint near Adiala Jail after her meeting with Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, Aleema Khan said that Imran Khan had sent a message that he had lost his eyesight and demanded that his personal doctors be granted access to him.
