Update · 10 Nov 2026, 6:45 PM PKT: A lawyer warned that Imran Khan is at risk of brain haemorrhage and heart attack, going beyond the blood pressure concern raised earlier.
Barrister Salman Akram Raja has expressed concern about the health of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, saying his blood pressure has been fluctuating. Speaking to reporters at the Dahgal checkpoint in Rawalpindi, Raja described the situation as a serious worry for the party.
Concern over blood pressure and restricted access
Raja said Imran Khan’s blood pressure was at times low and at other times high, calling this a matter of serious concern. He warned that any interference with the founder’s health would be unacceptable to the nation and to the party. Asked about reports on the subject, he said the latest information the party had came from Salman Safdar.
Raja also said no meetings had taken place with Noreen Bibi, Uzma Bibi and others since August 25. Meetings with lawyers, associates and family members had likewise been stopped. On JUI-F chief Maulana Fazal ur Rehman, he said the party would work with anyone who followed the law and the Constitution.
