Imran Khan visits family of slain worker in Rawalpindi

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman‚ Imran Khan who arrived in Islamabad on Thursday for the first time since he had been injured, visited family of a slain party worker in Rawalpindi.

He told reporters that he will pursue the case and will ensure the affected family should get justice.

Earlier‚ doctors at the Shaukhat Khanum hospital cleared Imran Khan for travelling.

The PTI chairman was injured when he fell of a forklift during election campaigning in Lahore on May 7.

Imran Khan who received injuries to his head and back was released from the hospital on May 22. Due to his injuries he was not able to travel to Islamabad to take oath as a member of the National Assembly.

He will attend the budget session on Saturday when the National Assembly begins debate on the 2013-14 outlay.

According to the PTI’s media cell, Khan’s recent tests have shown encouraging signs and doctors have given him a go-ahead to travel to Islamabad.

He was examined for about an hour on Thursday by a group of doctors headed by neurosurgeon Dr Kamran.

The doctors took some tests, including an x-ray of the PTI chief’s backbone and a fitness test, and declared Khan fit, allowing him to travel to Islamabad.

After getting the medical fitness certificate, Khan immediately decided to travel to his residence in Bani Gala and to subsequently take oath as an MNA at the next session of the National Assembly.

Khan could not take oath due to his injury and has remained in Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital in Lahore for the past few weeks.
