Journalist Umar Iftikhar writes: Imran Khan’s hospital transfer is a right, not freedom. Social media hype hurts PTI itself. Pakistan needs unity as people suffer from inflation. Imran Khan proved brave during long imprisonment.
ISLAMABAD, Aug 18, 2026 – DailyToday Opinion
By Umar Iftikhar
Imran Khan will only go to the hospital and return to jail. Talk of freedom or going abroad is baseless speculation that PTI social media itself uses to destroy its own structure.
As a journalist, I must admit that Imran Khan has spent his time in jail with courage. He has proven himself to be a brave man and a leader.
As always, exaggerating every piece of news and politics on social media has proven damaging before, and it is damaging now.
After all, Imran Khan is a citizen of this country. He is a prominent personality. He has been the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Going to the hospital is his right.
He has endured a long imprisonment so far, and he is spending this time very bravely. As a journalist, this fact must be acknowledged.
For Pakistan’s situation and political stability, everyone should come on one page so that there is ease for the nation and the state.
People are tired of inflation.
The focus should be on national unity and economic relief, not on social media rumors that only create more chaos.
