Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has made headlines after announcing that he would donate his right eye to former prime minister Imran Khan if ever medically required. The statement came during a public address where he expressed solidarity with the PTI founder amid ongoing political tensions.
Gandapur said his offer was symbolic of loyalty and commitment. “If my leader ever needs it, I am ready to give my right eye,” he stated, drawing strong reactions from supporters at the gathering. The remarks were widely circulated on social media and sparked debate across political circles.
There has been no official confirmation of any permanent loss of sight suffered by Imran Khan. Authorities have maintained that the former prime minister is receiving medical care according to jail regulations. However, concerns about his health have frequently been raised by party leaders and family members since his incarceration.
Medical experts note that organ donation, including corneal transplants, follows strict clinical and ethical guidelines. Such procedures require compatibility tests and are carried out under specialized supervision. Symbolic political statements, they say, should not be confused with formal medical processes.
Political analysts view Gandapur’s announcement as a strong gesture aimed at energizing party supporters during a sensitive period. While the statement was largely emotional, it reflects the continued intensity of political loyalty surrounding Imran Khan.
The development adds another layer to the country’s charged political environment, where personal expressions often carry broader political meaning.
