Taking oath: Doctors clear Imran Khan to travel to Islamabad

Khan was unable to attend the maiden session of the National Assembly due to restrictions on travel.

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s doctors have given him a green signal to travel to Islamabad after recovering from an injury received last month, reported Express News.

The chairman will be flying to Islamabad from Lahore to take oath as he was previously unable to attend the maiden National Assembly session due to a restriction on travel after his injuries.

A special plane was chartered to take the chairman to Benazir Bhutto International Airport.

Khan was discharged from hospital on May 22 two weeks after falling from a platform at an election campaign rally in Lahore.

Imran along with three security guards was being raised onto a 20 foot tall stage via lifter during a rally on May 7. Standing on a wooden platform, Imran was gripped by his guards. Midway another of his security guards tried to climb aboard the platform. This made the platform unbalanced and caused the five to tip over, somersault through the air and land on the roof of the lifter before falling on to the ground.

As a result of the fall, the PTI Chairman received a head injury. He was seen bleeding, in a semi-conscious state as he was rushed away from the site of the accident.
