Ali Amin Gandapur eye donation Imran Khan
In a powerful expression of solidarity, former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister and senior PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur has publicly announced his willingness to donate his right eye to former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The emotional pledge was made amid widespread concern over reports that Khan has suffered severe vision loss during his time in custody.
Key Context of the Announcement
- Imran Khan’s Vision Status: According to a medical report submitted to the Supreme Court, the PTI founder has lost approximately 85% of the vision in his right eye. The report cites a diagnosis of right central retinal vein occlusion, allegedly caused by a blood clot that did not receive timely specialized treatment.
- Gandapur’s Pledge: During a public address, Ali Amin Gandapur declared, “I will donate my eye for Imran Khan!” emphasizing that his loyalty and commitment to his leader surpass political support. He also demanded that the government immediately ensure Khan’s treatment by his personal medical teams.
- Broader Support: Gandapur’s gesture is part of a wave of emotional responses from the PTI community; others, including Advocate Tabish Farooq, have made similar offers to donate their eyes to the former premier.
- Political Atmosphere: The announcement was made as the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Aaeen-e-Pakistan (TTAP), a multi-party opposition alliance, prepared for a sit-in outside the Parliament House to protest the alleged medical neglect of Imran Khan.
Government and Legal Response
- Government Refutal: Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has disputed the timeline of the injury, stating that official records show the first complaint about vision issues was made in January 2026, rather than October 2025 as claimed by Khan’s legal team.
- Supreme Court Order: Chief Justice Yahya Afridi has ordered the formation of an independent medical board to conduct a fresh examination and report back to the court by February 16, 2026.
