NEW DELHI: The Pakistan government on Saturday blamed jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party for his transfer to a state-run hospital instead of the private facility ordered by the Supreme Court for his medical checkup.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been taken to a private hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment.

Local media reported that the 73-year-old was taken from prison to a hospital under tight security, after the government said it would comply with the Supreme Court order.
