Imran had missed the inaugural and special budget sessions of the National Assembly after he was advised bed rest after suffering a 14 foot fall in Lahore on May 7, that inflicted back injuries. The PTI chairman's doctors suggested that Imran take at least two weeks of complete bed rest at home after he had been released from the hospital on May 22. The advice meant Imran missed party activities immediately before and after the elections.
On Thursday, doctors at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital cleared the MNA-elect for travelling.
PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen said that the party chief will soon visit the NA.
“After one week, he [Imran] should attend the [NA] session.”
PTI to bring cut motions on the budget debate
PTI's Deputy Parliamentary leader in National Assembly Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who met Leader of the Opposition in the House Khursheed Shah, would brief Imran on budgetary related matters at his residence, party leaders said.
PTI’s top leadership has already chalked out the strategy about cut motions in the budget debate, they added.
“We will bring cut motions in the budget debate focusing on eight ministries,” said Dr Shireen Mazari. Interestingly, MNAs Arif Alivi, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Dr Mazari also discussed budget related matters with leaders of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
“We focused on the budget and devise a coordinated strategy for the opposition parties for the upcoming budget debate,” said MNA Dr Alvi. Opposition parties agreed over the cut motions focusing on some ministries, he added.
Two top managers of PTI Economic team Jahangir Tareen and Asad Umer were preparing papers recommendations for the new budget said Ishaq Khan Khakwani. “PTI’s economic team will brief the party top leadership on the budgetary related matters,” he added.

Imran khan is name of real change in Pakistan. He will be a positive opposition leader in the parliament. We need such man to break the traditional statusco and work for people of Pakistan.
Here comes the real opposition in the parliament. Get ready PMLN. In addition, I see PMLN making no effort to probe corruption allegations against PPP as they are two faces of the same coin.
Please do not stigmatize IK,he did not abuse any one, much less Mr.Ayaz Sadiq.Now let the system work.The nation is watching things going haywire with PML N right from the out set.
@Kami
You made my day!
@PMLN Lover He has done it just one and Sharif brothers have done it 6 times.
@ Baset: the King? Speaks volumes for the democratic traditions of PTI and its supporters....
.... and the oath will be administered by his political opponenet Mr Ayaz Sadiq. From next week onwards, Imran Khan will call the same person "janab-e-Speaker" whom he used to rant abuses during his recent election campaign in NA-120. SubhanAllah.
@Nawaz Sharif: @no one: When one lives in Karachi, the city of 'namaloom afraad', current status of alive or dead is very necessary :)
ET stop covering Imran Khan - undue coverage of an utterly failed politician who won elections just by fooling people.
Welcome back Captain! Live long and prosper.
A staunch supporter of PTI, i am sorry but my confidence has been shaken when Imran left his followers without leadership in the middle of the road, when they kept protesting about the messive and blantant rigging in the 2013 elections and involvement of so called free judiciary in this rigging and corruption. Imran was not crippled (Thank God) and to me he abandoned his followers for a period under some understanding to let PML N form the Government smoothly etc. Even when he was discharged from the hospital and doctors cleared him non-critical, he kept quiete and took too long to speak up. Why did he do that he will have to come clear. I am still a supporter of Imran but with shaken confidence.
The King is back !!!
Now that is positive opposition purely issue based. Critics kindly read the full thread. I am sure in PMLN nobody discussed the extracts of budget as no one except MR Darr was associated in budget making process and its its after effects. While PPP does not have even a glimpse of sense to consider the thing called budget. We have seen their incompetecy and short sightedness on economic front during past 5 years.
Who is Arif Alive?
Arif Alive. Seriously ?
