Pakistan Opposition alliance calls off sit-in; Insists on physicians' access to Imran Khan

The opposition alliance in Pakistan has decided to end its planned sit-in protest, focusing instead on ensuring that medical professionals have unrestricted access to former Prime Minister Imran Khan. A recent medical report from a team of doctors who assessed Khan on February 15 revealed significant concerns regarding his eyesight. The report detailed that Khan's unaided vision is 6/24 in the right eye and 6/9 in the left eye. With corrective glasses, his vision improves to 6/9 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left. This situation has raised alarms among his supporters and political allies, who are emphasizing the necessity for proper medical treatment and oversight as Khan remains embroiled in legal and political challenges. The opposition's shift in strategy highlights their growing concern for Khan's health amidst ongoing tensions in Pakistan's political landscape.
