Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Thursday ordered authorities to set up a medical board to examine jailed former premier Imran Khan's eyes following a report about vision loss in one of them. The apex court also ordered authorities to allow the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder to speak with his children. Last month, Khan was rushed to a hospital in Islamabad, where a medical procedure for an eye ailment was performed. The court also ordered that Khan should be allowed to hold a phone call with his children. On Tuesday, the day he met Khan, Safdar had told reporters that the incarcerated leader was "fine and healthy".
