title: "Government claims full compliance with SC order on Imran Khan's medical check-up"
description: "Most outlets reported that the government asserted it had fully implemented the Supreme Court’s order regarding Imran Khan’s medical check-up, with Attaullah Tarar making this claim in multiple reports. Several also noted the government’s accusation that the PTI was violating the court’s order by issuing statements and politicising the issue, though the framing of this as “contempt of court” varied in emphasis. While most outlets included both the government’s compliance claim and the accusation against the PTI, some placed greater emphasis on the alleged contempt, particularly the PTI family’s media statements."
