Advocate Salman Safdar addressed the media on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, to firmly reject reports claiming he had briefed others on the health of PTI founder Imran Khan. Safdar clarified that as an amicus curiae (friend of the court), his duty was solely to report to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Following his three-hour meeting at Adiala Jail, Safdar emphasized that he maintained strict confidentiality, even with the former Prime Minister’s family and senior party leadership.
Key Clarifications from Salman Safdar
- No Health Statements: Safdar denied making any public statements regarding Imran Khan’s medical status, noting that “false news was attributed to me” shortly after the meeting.
- Confidentiality Maintained: He confirmed he did not brief Aleema Khan or PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja. Both respected his position that he could not discuss the meeting’s contents before submitting his formal report.
+1 - Focus on Living Conditions: While concerns about a recent medical procedure were raised, Chief Justice Yahya Afridi explicitly instructed Safdar to limit the scope of his report to “living conditions only.”

Judicial Action: SC Orders Medical Team for Eye Exam
Following the submission of Safdar’s report and a parallel report from the Jail Superintendent, the Supreme Court resumed the hearing on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
Chief Justice Yahya Afridi observed that while both reports suggest the living facilities are “fine,” the issue of health remains paramount. Consequently, the court issued the following new directives:
- Medical Team: A specialized medical team must be formed to inspect Imran Khan’s eye (following a procedure on Jan 24) before February 16.
- Family Communication: The court directed that Imran Khan be allowed to speak with his children via telephone by the same deadline.
- Books: The Attorney General will consult with doctors to determine which books can be provided to the PTI founder without straining his eyesight.
