Imran Khan in good health; PTI now playing 'victim card': Talal

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry on Monday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan is in good health, adding that PTI has now nothing left except playing the 'victim card'.

While speaking to the media at Parliament House, Talal Chaudhry said that PTI founder’s eyesight is better than before, and he is healthy, mockingly saying that PTI members probably won’t be pleased that his health is fine.

He said that few people have eyesight as good as the founder of PTI at this age. May Allah grant him good health; his eyesight is better than before, and he is healthy. He added that the Supreme Court of Pakistan and senior doctors are now involved in the matter.

"The Supreme Court of Pakistan is involved, and doctors are involved. What medicine he receives, whether he needs to be hospitalized or sent home, these decisions are made by doctors. Neither lawyers nor any political party will decide this," he said.

He also said that if the motorway is closed, people should ask the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government why it is causing trouble to its own people. Nawaz Sharif had come out onto the streets for protest, but did not start his movement by taking shelter in an air-conditioned room inside a building.

Talal Chaudhry further said that they [PTI leaders] are sitting comfortably in air-conditioned rooms in a fine building, sitting on sofas and eating 'parathas'. If they think they can bring about a revolution this way, then we are ready to send more 'parathas', he said.
