| 2014-06-19 |
| [The News (Pak)] Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Rasheed Godil Wednesday, quoting doctors, said the condition of his party's member of National Assembly Tahira Asif is now out of danger. Earlier, MNA Tahira Asif was shot and injured by unidentified armed men near Gujranwala upon resisting a robbery. She received two bullets in her abdomen and was rushed to Sheikh Zayed hospital Lahore. Rasheed Godil said she had gone through a successful surgery and that she would be transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the next half an hour. "According to doctors, she is now out of danger," he added. Taking notice of the attack on the MQM MNA, Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif sought a report from IG Police. Later, lawmakers belonging to MQM and other opposition parties staged a walkout from the National Assembly to register their protest against the attack on Tahira Asif. MQM MNA Asif Husnain said the armed attack on Tahira Asif's car is being purposely misrepresented as a robbery. |
