ISLAMABAD: During the recent facilitation process for Imran Khan’s family and party over his health issues, the minister concerned was reportedly warned by a highly influential figure within the power structure, who warned that concessions would not satisfy them.
“Even if you give them everything, they will still not be satisfied,” a source quoted the figure as telling the minister.
The source said the minister proceeded nonetheless, believing that transparency and cooperation would build trust and reduce political friction. But that didn’t happen.
The reaction of Khan’s family was embarrassing not only for the federal minister but also for PTI leaders who were involved in these behind-the-scenes efforts to provide relief to the family of incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan over his health condition.
The minister had engaged in discreet negotiations with PTI leaders and representatives of the families to address concerns over Khan’s medical care and access to trusted doctors. The initiative aimed to ease tensions and prevent the health issue from escalating into a broader political confrontation.
However, soon after the implementation of the facilitation measures, Khan’s family publicly questioned the medical arrangements and continued to press their demands, triggering confusion and frustration within government circles.
