Imran Khan may finally travel to Islamabad. PHOTO: AFP /FILE
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.

He has been in Parliament before, but I think nobody ever heard him talking about his "visionary ideas" on the floor. He cant move an inch without a team. Now he has other PTI members also he is promising an explosive speech in Parliament.
Sheikh Rasheed is better than Imran Khan who despite being alone is more vocal, precise, well equipped with criticizing arguements
IK like a king needed sycophants around him who would say long live the king !!! without any reason. That's why last time he remained speechless because there was nobody to say long live the king !!!!!!!!
@mFs:
Simple answer to why he's chartering a plane. He's rich and elite and therefore can afford to pay for the aircraft. Most of the Pakistan population can not.
Com'on Khan give "Energy" to this static assembly.
Imran, Please guide NS in the right direction! Thanks
@Sahar Khan: Some times keep the benefit of doubt, because I am 100% that this guy is not at all a Pakistani, and just want to divert the topic and make people argue each other on something that is not important,we all like Imran Khan, till he keep doing good for the country as he portrayed himself,we need sincere and honest leaders like Imran, may Allah keep him on his words.
when imran khan take oath as MNA in pak parliament
@PMLN Lover: my dear brother your sweet Priminister main sahib Nawaz Shareef got 3rd time chance to become a Priminister and he is unable to delivered good result and also he destroyed the democracy continuity, now he is giving not hopeful message, Inshallah this a list chance
What has IK done? Just a hospital doesn’t make you a PM. Grow up. He has had illicit relations with women in the past. Sharif bros have a clean character.
PMLN Lover .Aptly said ..This is the BETTER ( bitter as well ) truth ,PTI lovers hate to acknowledge .Some cult culture .hah!
IK has come back to show empathy with USMAN MIRZA'S family direct from bed .HATS OFF to IK
I just love you Imran Khan.
as long as IK is alive, Hope is still alive.
@Arsie:
I think there is a typo in your name--there should be no letter "i" in it.
All those criticizing him for using KP taxpayers' money for chartering a plane, please also enlighten us where it says he chartered the plane with taxpayers' money? Or is it just criticism for the sake of criticism?
Cmon Tiger
@Arsie: Right!
thanks to Allah.we r with u in this fight
@PMLN Lover: Your father Nawaz Sharif is in power now so complain to him about the economic woes. There is also something called humanity which doesnt seem to figure in your sad world. Imran Khan had been injured in a grave fall and this venom is all u can spew?! Why I expected anything else from PMLN supporters is beyond me.
In addition, Imran Khan is not only a Cricketer as you jealously point out but a Political Science Degree holder from Oxfod and has a charasmatic persona! The kind of respect Imran Khan can demand worlwide, Nawaz can only dream of. Nawaz isnt respected anywhere. They just put up with him when he is in power.
thanks to Allah.only national leader after quaid azam.we r with u in this fight.
Until the people of Pakistan become worthy, no one can help them. As long as the virus of corruption is in the minds of the people, they will suffer.
Example - get people to obey traffic laws. I always wondered why are there lanes painted on the streets of Pakistan when there is no regard for them. This is corruption. Fix it and then think about higher ideals.
PMLN lover - you are the poster child for the mind set of this nation. You love a leadership that has looted your country. What's the matter with you.
It will be a special moment when Imran Khan will take oath from NA speaker: Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, who defeated him in Lahore ;)
His highness Royal King of PTI travelling by Chartered plane. Where's KPKs taxpayers money going? Now that you're in govt. Questions will be asked. Enough of sloganeering.
I am very excited to see pakistan s most wondeful leader .. thanks ET
@mFs:
Why is he charting a special plane?
Because he needs one and he can. Any other lame questions?
Welcome back my great great leader.
@PMLN Lover: Looking at the budget everything is clear. We are back to square one. PML N is already on the loot.
More to add, IK went directly to PTI's worker home who was killed on the election day..
One and only nation on the face of earth which never regards their heros, like AQ khan.His interview on Geo in which he said"It was my mistake to come back and serve pakistan Nation" .Wake up guys have some dignity.
@mFs: because of his injury. he cant be in a sitting position for too long
May Allah keep you fit to lead this country. Go get them in the Parliament. The Elitist/Rich friendly Budget.
We hope that Khan would not throw a loose delivery to PMLN.
Naivety takes oath as a member parliament. Hope there are a few at least visionary statesman like speeches this time round his first tenure as a parliamentarian was quite lackluster Great to see him in form, though
Players get injured, same is with Imran Khan. No big deal. All respect for Mian Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif who are visionary enough to bless us with Metro bus and Motorways!
What has IK done? Just a hospital doesn't make you a PM. Grow up. He has had illicit relations with women in the past. Sharif bros have a clean character.
Welcome Back Khan shb, Time to play a long inning with aggressive mood.
My Leader is back..MashaAllah Now, PML-N be ready for great opposition
@PMLN Lover: He is comming to put a check on Mian sahib...A system of check and balance, hence we need alot of ATTENTION FOR HIM!!! for beter Pakistan.
Welcome Back IK. Be successful in front of the people who underestimate you, it is the best revenge! Congratulations to PTI and Pakistan.
welcome back pak's captain.
Mian sahib gave 1.6% to education and billions to roads. Just shows his priorities. Imran Khan, come back, we need you.
May Allah bless you with wisdom to run KPK Govt in an exemplary way
let watch' now waht happen....i think all parties in big trouble.sepeciely pml-n.so welcome back pakistan's captain.we love u............
I am also a fan of imran khan but the recent incident where imran has asked javed hashmi to clarify the comments made by him in support of Mian Saheb is child politics. You have to grow up as political party. When javed hashmi is in PML(N), he has number of times differed from Main Saheb point of view but he never summoned him to clarify. Javed hashmi is not a worker he is a legend he should be treated with respect by everyone.
Welcome back. Now we are waiting to listen from King Khan for his views to resolve the the issues of Pakistan. We want to see the different govt in KPK.
My request to khan sb, dont go soft on poll rigging and also soft opposition is not Y people voted you, dont fall for the trap of electable if you give tickets to common man in bye elections and in the next general elections there is no way that you would be held back from the reforms agenda like to hear your first speech after such a long time Captain
Imran Khan this is your new game must win this game for oppressed people of Pakistan all the best
*o
w good darama have seen to us in national assembly...pml-n now in big trouble.strong text
Welcome back 4rm pivalion.........
@mFs: that's becuase he can afford it. No harm in being rich. There is harm in being arrigant
@PMLN Lover: what does this have to do with nawaz sharif or the pml-n. many are concerned with the status and well being of imran and wish to track his recovery hence there is an article about it. stop being emotional for no reason
Today`s best news...lov u IK
Good to see you back on the pitch!
Thanks God. We love you Khan sb. welcome back.
I am his supporter. But not a blind supporter.
Why is he charting a special plane?
@PMLN Lover: Can feel the pain. :)
we got other issues to deal with than wasting our time discussing his oath....
@PMLN Lover: Hahahah, your name says it all, that what you are. Not a Pakistan Lover but a PML(N) Lover. This nation has only a divisive approach towards its country. First, it used to be provinces and now the followers of political parties. Grow up man, he is one of the party leaders and you want media give attention to who? YOU? Accept the fact, that PTI is here for the development purpose of Pakistan the way PML(N) is here. What you all say ...?? Yeah Democracy... it is Democracy and IK is one part of it. And you know well, if it would have been NS, the same importance would have been given to him and that too along with this CRIPPLING ECONOMY(as per you). So resume to your senses, and appreciate that he is going to be back in the arena.
Great news! Welcome back Khan sahab, the true democratically elected leader of Pakistan! You gave energy to the struggle for a free and fair Pakistan and hopefully the journey will continue!
Khan is BACK ! IK you just say and PMLN will follow :)
Khan is back in the game. mashallah you have recovered.
I don't know why this drama is being created. Media should stop giving too much hype to a cricketer. Economy is crippling and we should all support Mian Sahab in it.
Thanks God. We wish to see you and our country stand on own feet.
Welcome back King Khan ..we desperately need you
