Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan’s sister Dr Uzma Khan said he explicitly told her during a recent meeting: “These people will kill me; they have made a plan to kill me”
In a series of explosive claims, former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan’s sisters said the “Asim Munir regime” wants to “kill” the jailed cricketer-turned-politician, and that they have received threats from interior minister and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi.
Alleging a “lethal conspiracy” by the Pakistani government and military to eliminate Imran Khan in custody, his sisters — Dr Uzma Khan and Aleema Khan — held a press conference and specifically named army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Mohsin Naqvi as being part of such a plan.
Uzma Khan and Aleema Khan referred to them as the “Asim Munir regime”. According to Uzma, during a recent meeting, Imran explicitly told her: “These people will kill me; they have made a plan to kill me.”
Aleema also shared a message from her brother stating that his eye health is deteriorating and that he is being denied access to his trusted medical team.
The allegations come amid an intensifying political standoff centred on a reported medical crisis faced by Imran in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail. His medical reports, which have also been presented before the Supreme Court of Pakistan, show that he is facing severe vision loss in one of his eyes.
Imran’s family has categorically rejected the findings of government-appointed medical teams, demanding instead that he be evaluated by his personal physicians, Dr Asim and Dr Faisal.
“You have sent a team of doctors to the jail and ask us to accept it, or to accept the report provided by those doctors — that will not happen,” Aleema said during a press briefing.
The family said it is “absolutely clear” about its demand that Khan be transferred to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad, where he can be treated in the presence of his own doctors and relatives.
The former PM’s sisters further alleged that they are being personally targeted for speaking out. Uzma claimed that Naqvi has been threatening the family.
“Mohsin Naqvi is threatening us; they have tasted blood,” Uzma said during the briefing, warning the authorities that she has vowed to seek retribution if any harm should come to her brother or them. “If anything happens to Imran Khan or to us, mark my words, we will not spare anyone’s future generations either.”
