He also addressed concerns regarding Khan\u2019s health, stating that the PTI founder\u2019s eye condition had been exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe had a responsibility to provide proper healthcare, and that was done. His health is fine now; the issue that existed has been resolved,\u201d the minister said, adding that medical experts had examined Khan and briefed party leaders about his condition. He urged the PTI to avoid politicising the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tarar arrived in the United Kingdom late Monday night after accompanying Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on a two-day official visit to Austria. Responding to a question, he said the prime minister had addressed a business forum attended by leading companies from both countries, highlighting investment opportunities in textiles, mines and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the visit would help strengthen bilateral ties and open new avenues for trade and investment. Referring to an event in Vienna, Tarar noted that the prime minister\u2019s speech in German was warmly received by the Austrian leadership and audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi contradicted the minister\u2019s remarks, saying the government had not fulfilled PTI\u2019s demands regarding the incarcerated former premier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking outside the KP House in Islamabad, Afridi said the party was not seeking any medical report but wanted Khan to be allowed access to his personal physician, family members, an eye specialist and treatment at Shifa International Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur demands did not include any report. We asked that he be allowed access to his personal doctor, a family member, an eye specialist and treatment at Shifa International Hospital,\u201d he said, adding that none of the demands had been accepted. He termed it the legal and constitutional right of the former prime minister to receive treatment from a doctor of his choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PTI, meanwhile, announced that its sit-in protest \u2014 led by parliamentary figures and members of the opposition alliance Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Ayin-e-Pakistan (TTAP) \u2014 would continue as concerns persist over Khan\u2019s medical condition, particularly his eyesight. The protest entered its fifth consecutive day on Tuesday amid ongoing political tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON\/ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Tuesday rejected reports suggesting any deal or special concessions for the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), terming the claims baseless and speculative.
