LAHORE (Dunya News) – Punjab Information Minister Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan Monday said a three-member medical board has been constituted for Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz and he will be treated at a government hospital.
The provincial minister said in his statement that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is making futile attempt to do politics on Hamza Shahbaz’s health
Fayyaz Chohan said, “Expert doctors and professors will examine the PML-N leader and the decision to shift him to a government hospital will be made afterwards.
“PML-N’s demand to shift Hamza Shahbaz to the Ittefaq Hospital or Raiwind palace is against the constitution and the law. The opposition leader in Punjab will be provided complete medical care.”
Earlier today, the Punjab government had rejected PML-N request to shift Hamza Shahbaz – who has contracted coronavirus – to the Ittefaq Hospital from the Kot Lakhpat Jail.
PML-N deputy secretary Ata Tarar had written a letter to the Punjab chief secretary and requested to move Hamza Shahbaz to the Ittefaq Hospital from the Kot Lakhpat Jail on health grounds.
