Islamabad (Web Desk) Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, on Monday called for the formation of a joint parliamentary committee to facilitate a meeting with jailed Imran Khan at Adiala Jail and to address concerns surrounding his health and legal cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the floor of the Upper House, the PTI-backed senator urged the government to improve its relationship with the incarcerated former premier. \u201cI promise that we [the opposition] will not let your government fall,\u201d he said, signaling readiness for dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allama Nasir also criticized what he described as the locking of Parliament House gates during a recent protest sit-in by opposition lawmakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He questioned whether confining parliamentarians inside the premises amounted to an insult to the institution and called for a tradition of \u201cpositive protest\u201d to be respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His remarks referred to a days-long sit-in staged earlier this month by lawmakers from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and allied opposition parties at Parliament House and KP House in Islamabad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protest was held over concerns regarding Imran Khan\u2019s reported eye ailment, after the former prime minister claimed he had lost 85 percent vision in his right eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the government constituted a medical board that examined and treated him at Adiala Jail, PTI and its allies demanded that he be shifted to a hospital and allowed meetings with family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government did not accept these demands, and PTI later called off the protest while announcing the formation of an \u201cImran Khan Release Force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his Senate speech, Allama Nasir reiterated the demand for proper medical treatment for the PTI founder, alleging that false cases had been registered against him and that his sisters were being denied visitation rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He again pressed for a joint parliamentary committee to arrange a meeting with Imran Khan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately, PTI leaders and lawmakers staged a sit-in outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan in Islamabad, demanding early hearings in cases involving the former premier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja told the media he had sought a meeting with the court registrar but was unable to secure one. The protest concluded later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding in the Senate, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah said doctors had deemed Imran Khan\u2019s treatment appropriate following his medical examination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged that matters related to the PTI founder\u2019s health should not be politicized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senior PML-N leader reiterated the government\u2019s offer for dialogue, stating that his party had sought engagement even when in opposition. \u201cDemocracy progresses through negotiations, not deadlock,\u201d he said, urging the opposition to participate in parliamentary committees and strengthen the Charter of Democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
