His Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party welcomed the court order, saying it should have come earlier.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>\u201cIt\u2019s a very welcome order and we wish it had happened sooner so his eye and general health would not have deteriorated this much,\u201d PTI spokesperson Zulfikar Bukhari told Reuters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cHe should remain in hospital until all doctors are satisfied,\u201d Bukhari added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>According to Khan\u2019s spokesperson Naeem Haider Panjutha, the court directed that he be moved to Shifa International Hospital within 48 hours and remain there until September 16.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The order came amid renewed concerns over Khan\u2019s physical and mental health. His sons, Sulaiman Khan and Kasim Khan, have repeatedly raised concerns about his access to family, lawyers and doctors.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cWe have no updates because his family, doctors and lawyers haven\u2019t been allowed to see him for seven months,\u201d they told CNN earlier this month.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The development came after Pakistan president Arif Alvi also said on Tuesday that Khan\u2019s medical reports were \u201calarming\u201d, citing concerns over anxiety, palpitations and high blood pressure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>In a post on X, Alvi said, \u201cImran Khan\u2019s medical reports are alarming. I have gone through them with several specialists, and I am writing this in plain language so every Pakistani can understand exactly what is happening.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Alvi said the issues that concerned him most were Khan\u2019s \u201canxiety and stress levels\u201d, \u201cpalpitations,\u201d and \u201chigh blood pressure\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Alvi also raised concerns over Khan\u2019s heart rate and called for further medical monitoring, including a 24-hour Holter monitor.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>\u201cI am deeply worried. Isolation is taking a physical toll on his body. If this is not addressed immediately, the damage may become irreversible with more complications to follow,\u201d Alvi said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Calling for Khan to be hospitalised, Alvi said: \u201c@ImranKhanPTI definitely needs to be moved to a hospital environment now, under an independent panel of doctors.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Khan\u2019s legal troubles intensified after his ouster as prime minister in a no-confidence vote in 2022. He has faced multiple cases, including those involving state gifts and an unlawful marriage, with some convictions suspended or overturned and appeals pending. He denies wrongdoing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>The PTI, which came to power in 2018 and retains a significant support base, was stripped of its election symbol before the 2024 general election, forcing its candidates to contest as independents.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
