ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah was taken to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi for ‘minor procedure’.
وزیر داخلہ رانا ثناء اللہ معمول کے طبی معائنے کے لئے عسکری ادارہ برائے امراض قلب (اے ایف آئی سی) راولپنڈی گئے تھے۔ اُن کی صحت کے حوالے سے قیاس آرائیوں میں صداقت نہیں۔ 18 سال قبل 2004 میں رانا صاحب کی ہارٹ سرجری ہوئی تھی۔ ہر دو تین سال بعد اس کا چیک اپ کروانا لازم ہوتا ہے۔
