An Islamabad district and sessions court on Friday (August 19) directed the Islamabad Police to shift Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Dr Shahbaz Gill to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for another medical examination and submit a report on the condition of his health.
“Shahbaz Gill’s condition is not fine,” the court remarked.
The court issued the directives as it suspended a plea by police seeking the physical custody of Gill for another eight days.
Gill was presented before the court early morning. He was escorted by the police to court in a wheelchair from PIMS hospital after being deemed “fit” by a medical board.

“For God’s sake, give me back my mask,” he said.
At this, the judge asked him if he intends to stay, to which Gill said he will if his mask is provided to him.
