'Dr. Yasmin held press conference under pressure from PM Imran'
Dr. Yasmin Rashid held press conference under pressure from PM Imran Khan: Marriyum Aurangzeb.
LAHORE (Duna News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb Tuesday said Punjab Health Minister Dr. Yasmin Rashid held press conference under pressure from Prime Minister Imran Khan which is regrettable.
Dr. Yasmin Rashid and Marriyum Aurangzeb talked exclusively to Dunya News. The Punjab health minister maintained that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports will be forwarded to the Interior Ministry after verification once they are received.
Such a ruckus would not have been created had the fresh reports been submitted earlier, she commented.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said Nawaz Sharif’s rubidium PET scan was conducted today. The erstwhile premier was allowed to go abroad for treatment by the board headed by the health minister, and now political drama is being staged despite submission of Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports, the PML-N leader commented.
It is pertinent here to mention that Dr. Yasmin Rashid said in her press conference earlier today that Nawaz Sharif did not undergo any treatment in past six weeks as the government did not receive his latest medical reports.
She raised a question that on which grounds does the former PM seek more time as he is a convict and had only been given relief by the court for treatment.
“The government has many reservations over Nawaz Sharif’s picture in a restaurant that surfaced on social media on Monday. He was granted bail for six weeks which ended on December 25.
“Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer submitted his medical report on December 27. A meeting of the medical board was summoned to review the report which was found to be incomplete as no fresh information was provided in it.
“The former premier’s physician wrote a letter in which medical details were mentioned which the board was already aware of.
“The government telephoned Dr. Adnan Khan, Nawaz Sharif’s personal physician, after watching his picture in the restaurant and asked him whether such outings were a part of his treatment?
“The government has not been apprised of any update regarding Nawaz Sharif’s treatment.”
