CJP visits ailing PPP leader at Ziauddin hospital
Web Desk On Sep 1, 2018 Last Updated Sep 1, 2018
KARACHI: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday paid a brief visit to the Ziauddin hospital where he met with ailing former Sindh minister Sharjeel Memon who is undergoing treatment there.
The chief justice arrived at the hospital in Clifton amid tight security and visited its different wards. He also went to the room where the PPP leader is being treated.
He reportedly stayed in Memon’s room for two to three minutes.
It may be mentioned here that Ziauddin hospital is owned by PPP leader Dr Asim Hussain.
Afterwards, the top judge was driven to the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) where he examined health facilities being provided there. He, then, traveled to the apex court’s Karachi registry to take up different cases.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court had rejected Sharjeel Memon’s bail plea in a graft case filed against him by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The bench was informed that the PPP leader, who was arrested in October last year, had been hospitalised from May.
The former Sindh minister along with other suspects has been accused of embezzlement worth Rs 5.76 billion in the award of advertisements to media outlets.
