PTI Walks Out of Senate Over Allegations of Secret Hospital Visit of Bushra Bibi
May 2026 | By Azad News
PTI senators staged a walkout from the Senate after raising concerns over reports that Bushra Bibi was reportedly taken from Adiala Jail to a hospital under unclear circumstances during the night and returned without public disclosure.
PTI parliamentary leader Syed Ali Zafar described the situation as “sudden and suspicious” and termed it a serious concern, questioning why details of the alleged medical visit were not made public.
He asked the government and jail authorities to clarify where she was taken, what medical tests were conducted, and why the matter was kept undisclosed.
He further alleged that she had been kept under strict conditions in jail, claiming restricted access to doctors and family members.
PTI presented several demands in the Senate, including medical transparency, access for personal doctors, family meetings, and review by an independent medical board.
The party also called for visits by a Senate committee and human rights representatives to assess her condition and ensure proper treatment standards.
During the session, PTI warned it could boycott proceedings if its concerns were not addressed, arguing that transparency and constitutional rights must be upheld.
In response, the government side advised PTI to pursue the matter through legal channels rather than disrupting parliamentary proceedings.
Other senators suggested forming a parliamentary committee to review the situation and ensure clarity regarding access to medical facilities for detained individuals.
Conclusion
The Senate walkout highlights ongoing political tensions and concerns over transparency, legal rights, and medical access for individuals in custody, with calls for institutional review and dialogue.
