Both reports noted the separate meeting of the opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP).

Perspectives
The meeting reflects the ongoing legal battles involving Imran Khan, with his lawyer emphasizing the need to pursue bail applications on merits. The government and opposition have exchanged accusations over the transparency of Imran's medical treatment and access to his personal physicians, according to Dawn's reporting.

His first medical procedure, carried out on January 24, was confirmed by the government five days after media reports. Subsequent procedures occurred on February 24 and March 23 at Pims, according to Dawn.
Safdar previously met Imran earlier this year at the court's direction when concerns were raised about Imran's health, as reported by Dawn.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
