Later, during the Senate session, Sherry Rehman said that they were not allowed to meet the former president, adding that everyone saw whatever happened at the PIMS hospital.

“Zardari’s three arteries have blocked,” the PPP senator said and added they were not afraid of accountability but political revenge shouldn’t be taken.
Speaking on the floor of the Upper House of the Parliament, Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Azam Swati said that the PTI didn’t make any case against the opposition leaders, but the PPP and PML-N had made cases against each others during their tenures.
On the occasion, Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani asked Minister for Interior Ijaz Shah to ensure provision of best medical facilities to the former president.
