ISLAMABAD: During the recent facilitation process for Imran Khan’s family and party over his health issues, the minister in question was allegedly warned by a very influential figure within the power structure, who warned that concessions would not satisfy them.

“Even if you give them everything, they will not be satisfied,” a source told the minister.

The source said the minister nevertheless proceeded, believing that transparency and cooperation would build trust and reduce political friction. But that didn’t happen.

The reaction of Khan’s family was embarrassing not only for the federal minister but also for the PTI leaders who were involved in these behind-the-scenes efforts to facilitate the family of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan about his health condition.

The minister had been engaging in quiet negotiations with PTI leaders and family representatives to address concerns about Khan’s medical care and access to trusted doctors. The initiative was aimed at easing tensions and preventing the health issue from turning into a broader political confrontation.

However, soon after the facilitation measures were implemented, Khan’s family publicly questioned the medical arrangements and continued to press their demands, creating confusion and frustration within government circles.
