Rashid Godil removed from ventilator
Two doctors have been appointed for treatment of the politician.
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Doctors have taken Rashid Godil, a legislator from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) opposition party, off the ventilator that has helped him breathe after he was critically wounded in gun attack in Karachi on Tuesday.
According to Liaquat National Hospital spokesperson Anjum Rizvi, Godil is clinically stable but the ventilator could be connected again if his condition deteriorates.
Rizvi said two doctors have been appointed to monitor his condition.
On Tuesday, four attackers on motorcycles opened fire on Godil’s car, critically wounding him and killing his driver in the eastern Bahadurabad neighbourhood.
Godil was struck by five bullets to his head, jaw and chest.
The shooting comes a week after members of the MQM, which dominates politics in Karachi, offered their resignations from their seats in parliament over what they described as a campaign of victimisation against them.
