Imran Khan Mentally Unfit, Alleges Health Minister

Abdul Qadir Patel says the medical reports on Imran Khan revealed the presence of harmful substances, including cocaine and alcohol, raising concerns about his suitability as a person deemed "Sadiq and Amin" (truthful and trustworthy).

ISLAMABAD: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-May 26^th, 2023) Federal Minister Abdul Qadir Patel, a prominent figure within the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), made startling claims about the mental fitness of Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister and current Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. During a press conference in Islamabad, Patel stated that Imran Khan is not of sound mind.

Patel went on to assert that medical reports on Imran Khan revealed the presence of harmful substances, including cocaine and alcohol, raising concerns about his suitability as a person deemed "Sadiq and Amin" (truthful and trustworthy). He urged the public to dissuade their children from following in the footsteps of the PTI chairman.

In a further accusation, Patel disputed the legitimacy of Imran Khan's claim of a fractured leg, asserting that it was merely a theatrical act, pointing to the plaster cast worn by the politician. The minister cautioned against aligning with Imran Khan, claiming that his actions have had detrimental effects on the fabric of society.

The report was conducted at PIMS hospital following Khan's arrest on May 9 and has raised questions about his mental health.

Minister Patel began the conference by asserting the public nature of the report before delving into its details. Contrary to Khan's claims of sustaining a foot fracture during an assassination attempt on November 3, the report did not indicate any such injury.

Moreover, Patel revealed that Khan's urine sample was analyzed, and the preliminary report revealed the presence of toxic elements, including traces of alcohol and cocaine, indicating potential excessive usage.

Significantly, the report also shed light on Khan's mental well-being, suggesting that his actions and body language were inconsistent with those of a mentally stable individual.

Patel emphasized that gestures exhibited by Khan were deemed uncharacteristic of someone with sound mental health.

Expressing his concern, Patel remarked, "I have consistently expressed my doubts about Imran Khan's mental condition." He further criticized Khan for undermining decency, political tolerance, and respect in the realm of politics.

The divergence between Khan's statements and the medical report was a focal point of Patel's address. He highlighted that the report did not indicate a fracture as claimed by Khan but instead pointed to the presence of a suspicious substance.

With the comprehensive report expected to be finalized soon, Patel emphasized the intention to submit it to the police. He expressed astonishment at Khan's actions, suggesting that they could only be attributed to someone with questionable mental stability or hidden motives.

Adding weight to the concerns, Patel revealed that a panel of five senior doctors had expressed doubts regarding Khan's mental well-being, fueling the ongoing discussions surrounding the former prime minister's fitness for leadership.

The press conference shed light on the extraordinary events of May 9, prompting Minister Patel to draw comparisons to the challenging times of 1971. Despite differences, he stressed the importance of standing united with the army during testing periods.

As news of Imran Khan's medical report continues to circulate, it is expected to fuel further debates about his suitability for political leadership, raising important questions about mental health and stability in the public domain.
