Pak Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said the ruling parties are willing to inquire about Imran Khan’s health in person if the environment improves, Geo News reported.

Rejecting the allegations made by PTI against him, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that they see Imran Khan as a political opponent, not as an enemy.

The minister also pointed out that the suspect is in police’s custody and his statement was recorded in Gujrat.
“No FIR has been registered of the incident. Maybe they are trying to register the FIR as per their wishes,” said Sanaullah.
