ISLAMABAD: A spokesperson for jailed Pakistan former prime minister Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, alleged on Thursday that they had found out that “two to three drops of toilet cleaner were added to Bushra Bibi’s Iftar meal” in prison during the month of Ramzan.
“Bushra’s health deteriorated and it was getting worse every day,” spokesperson Mashal Yousafzai claimed on a morning TV show.
Yousafzai, who is also adviser to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, questioned whyBushra’s medical tests were not conducted when the court had been directing the authorities for three weeks. She also wondered who was preventing the authorities from conducting the medical tests. “The court had directed authorities to conduct her endoscopy and blood test. Endoscopy revealed ulceration and inflammation in the stomach,” said Yousafzai.
She said that despite court orders they did not let Bushra Bibi get her blood tested.“The blood test could reveal whether the element of poison was present in her blood or not,” she added.
Last week, a comprehensive medical evaluation of Bushra Bibi was performed under the observation of Khan’s family physician, while doctors at a private hospital declared Bushra Bibi to be in good health.
She spent six hours at a private hospital in Islamabad undergoing diagnostic tests, including an endoscopy, but,according to sources,refused to undergo a blood test and did not provide a blood sample.
Hospital sources said Khan’s wife had only a minor gastric issue.
