LAHORE: Senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi was shifted from Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail to a hospital early Saturday morning after complaining of heart pain, according to his lawyer.
His lawyer confirmed that Qureshi experienced chest discomfort following the Fajr prayer, after which jail authorities transferred him to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) for further examination and treatment. The jail administration has informed Qureshi’s family of his condition and transfer. The nature and severity of his ailment are yet to be disclosed publicly.
Zain Qureshi, the former foreign minister’s son, also confirmed that his father felt unwell in the morning, following which doctors present at the jail conducted an immediate examination.
“He was subsequently transferred to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. The doctors have decided to keep him under observation for a few more days.
I request the nation to pray for his complete recovery.”
Taking to her X, Qureshi’s daughter Meher Bano wrote: “My brave baba is under observation in PIC. I would like to thank everyone for their concern. Please pray for him and all those who are under unjust incarceration.”
