The condition is commonly linked to cardiovascular risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the media interaction, Raja further alleged that meetings with Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were being restricted and that court orders regarding visitation rights were not being implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSignatures on vakalatnamas are being blocked, while only selected individuals are allowed to meet him,\u201d Raja claimed, adding that Imran Khan\u2019s sisters were also not being allowed meetings despite what he described as the PTI founder\u2019s \u201cserious health condition\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PTI leader also alleged that Bushra Bibi was facing \u201cfalse cases\u201d, including Toshakhana-related references, which he claimed were based on statements made by government witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raja said petitions had been filed in the Supreme Court but alleged that no hearings were taking place. He added that the party had exhausted all legal avenues and would now present its case before the people of Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the broader political situation in the country, Raja said Pakistan needed stability, claiming that the economy had been destroyed and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was \u201cdrenched in blood\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere were no such restrictions even during the British era,\u201d he said, while also alleging that the judiciary had been weakened and judges were being transferred to other provinces as punishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja on Wednesday claimed that PTI founder Imran Khan had lost vision in one eye due to alleged torture in prison and was facing&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[186,35,63,2166],"class_list":["post-4072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-imran-khan","tag-pakistan","tag-pti","tag-salman-akram-raja"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
