PTI raises alarm over Ejaz's health

The PTI has expressed concern over the health condition of its leader Ejaz Chaudhry, who is incarcerated in Kot Lakhpat Jail.

Chaudhry is serving 10-year sentence, along with other party leaders, for their involvement in violent riots in the country on May 9, 2023.

In a statement, the PTI central information wing voiced concern over Chaudhry's health and "negligence" by the current government.

"According to the latest medical examination, his kidney disease has progressed to stage three," it said, adding that doctors had stated that the 69-year-old former senator's treatment was not possible at the jail.

The PTI urged state institutions and the incumbent government to ensure adequate medical care for Chaudhry and other "political prisoners" at Kot Lakhpat Jail, and to expedite the hearing and disposal of

their cases.
