A disturbing silence surrounds the health and whereabouts of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, sparking intense speculation and anxiety. Despite growing concerns and appeals, Pakistani authorities remain tight-lipped, leaving a wave of uncertainty in its wake.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has voiced his alarm over the mounting mystery, highlighting the lack of official updates as a cause for concern. With rumors swirling and unverified claims spreading, the situation has become increasingly unsettling.
"I think it's not appropriate for us to comment on another country's internal affairs, but the silence on this matter is certainly worrying," Tharoor said.

The rumors have taken a dark turn, with some social media posts even alleging Khan's death in custody. His family and party leaders have demanded proof of life, a plea that has gone unanswered so far.
"You saw his son's message, asking for proof that his father is alive. It's concerning that no such proof has been provided," Tharoor added.
While acknowledging that the issue is primarily a domestic matter for Pakistan, Tharoor emphasized the broader humanitarian implications. Cricket fans and others are eager for news, as the former leader's well-being remains shrouded in secrecy.
"There's a human being at stake here. You can't just put someone in jail and make them disappear. If something has happened, the authorities should come clean," he said.
However, Pakistani officials have denied the rumors, with adviser Rana Sanaullah assuring that Khan is "fine and nothing is wrong with him." Despite these assurances, the PTI party continues to push for access to their leader, as concerns mount over his prolonged isolation.
Family members and supporters have staged protests outside Adiala Jail, demanding a meeting with Khan. The PTI delegation's repeated visits to the prison have been met with refusal, fueling speculation further.
Online, the hashtag "Where is Imran Khan?" has gained traction, as Pakistan's interior ministry maintains its silence. The situation remains a controversial and complex issue, leaving many questions unanswered.
