Imran Khan: Imran Khan's sons Suleman and Qasim Khan have expressed serious concern about the health of their father Imran Khan and the conditions of jail. He says that the former cricket captain and Prime Minister of Pakistan is being kept alone for a long time and he is not getting proper medical facilities. Speaking to former England captain and Sky Sports commentator Michael Atherton, the brothers said they were concerned about their father's health and raised questions about Imran's treatment in jail. This interview was shown during the lunch break of the second Test match between England and Pakistan at Lord's on Thursday.

Qasim and Suleman spoke at length about the deteriorating condition of their father, who has been in jail in Pakistan for almost three years. Qasim claimed that Imran has lost about 80 percent of the vision in one eye and said that the former Pakistan captain was recently seen wearing an eye patch. Both brothers also alleged that Imran spends more than 23 hours a day alone in a small room and is given very little access to books and basic facilities. He said that there is no air conditioning facility in the cell during the summer season.

Conditions in Pakistan's jails are bad

Qasim told in the interview that the Pakistan government is no longer working under any strategy. It is not clear what they are doing. Just openly trying to kill them there. They want to keep him in jail for as long as possible and suppress his voice. The last time he was able to talk to our aunties or anyone else, they said that things had become very bad recently. He is comparing this with other political prisoners who were killed or died in jail. Now the situation is worse than before, he is being kept completely alone in a cell for more than 23 hours a day.

Told my father to be a cool person

The sons say that it is very important that he gets proper treatment. Due to eye problem, he was wearing a bandage over his eyes and he clearly looked stressed. It is difficult for us to even think because whenever I have seen them. Even at gunpoint—he has always been very calm and trustworthy. Once when we were in the car and the robbery happened, he was the calmest of all the people there, even more than the robbers. Both brothers also talked about their efforts to meet Imran. He claimed that his visa for Pakistan was stopped citing technical reasons.

Imran came out of jail for a few hours

Suleman said that we had some hope. But our apprehensions came true when instead of being taken to the private hospital where he was supposed to be, he was taken to hospital. He was taken to the government medical center for a few hours and then sent straight back to jail.

Stir in PCB due to interview

After this interview, a big controversy arose involving the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which lodged a formal complaint with Sky Sports regarding this broadcast. According to reports, the PCB was also considering that if the interview was shown, the Pakistani players should be asked not to return to the field after lunch, although the team continued playing afterwards.

Many cricketers wrote letters to Pakistan government

Recently, a group of former international captains, including Indian legends Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, wrote a letter to Shehbaz Sharif, urging his government to ensure that Imran gets proper medical treatment and humanitarian facilities in jail. This appeal was presented as a humanitarian initiative rather than a political statement.

Many well-known former captains from different eras of international cricket were among those who signed this appeal. Imran is one of the most important figures in the history of Pakistan cricket. Before entering politics and later becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan, he had won the country its first Men's ODI World Cup title in 1992.
