NEW DELHI: The former first lady of Pakistan and wife of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was allegedly given two to three drops of “toilet cleaner” mixed in her Iftar meal on February 24, during Shab-e-Barat, according to Mashal Yousafzai, the spokesperson for Bushra Bibi. Yousafzai claimed that Bushra Bibi‘s health deteriorated after consuming the meal and has been worsening every day since her arrest.
Bushra Bibi, who is being held at the Bani Gala home, which has been converted into a sub-jail, was convicted in two different cases. Yousafzai questioned why Bushra’s medical tests were not conducted despite the court’s orders for three weeks and wondered who was preventing the authorities from doing so.
She also mentioned that an endoscopy revealed ulceration and inflammation in Bushra’s stomach, but the authorities did not allow her to get a blood test done, which could have revealed the presence of any poisonous elements.
Yousafzai further stated that Bushra Bibi experienced pain in her chest and left arm a few days ago, and while the jail doctor performed an ECG, which was not normal, it took several hours for doctors from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to arrive for a check-up.
She emphasized that Bushra Bibi, being a housewife and not a politician, is being targeted because she is the wife of the PTI founder.
However, last week, a comprehensive medical evaluation of Bushra Bibi was performed at a private hospital in Islamabad, where she underwent various diagnostic tests, including endoscopy, ultrasound, echo, and ECG, under the observation of Khan’s family physician, Dr Asim Yousuf.
The hospital sources stated that the doctors cleared all of Bushra Bibi’s medical reports and that she only had a minor gastric issue. Notably, the former first lady refused to undergo a blood test and did not provide a blood sample during her six-hour stay at the hospital.
