| 2018-06-17 |
| [DAWN] The family today was alerted to the presence of an unidentified individual in the hospital room of Begum Kulsoom ─ who, according to Maryam Nawaz, remains unresponsive. Hussain Nawaz, quoted by Geo TV, said: "This man fooled security and managed to reach Begum Kulsoom's room." Hussain said he didn't know who the man was, adding: "Even if he is a doctor, it does not mean that he can enter a place he has no concern with." The former prime minister's son said that the family was already worried, and that this incident had caused further distress to them. In a video shared on Twitter, the man identified himself as Naveed. He told DawnNewsTV that he is a doctor with a medical practitioner's ID card. He had allegedly been spotted in the vicinity of the clinic at 9am and went in around 10am when it opened this morning. Hussain said he had immediately alerted security, who then called the police. The man, his identity and the circumstances of his entry into the clinic, were inquired into by the police. He was let off with a warning after his medical practitioners' ID card was scrutinised and police did not find him guilty of a criminal offence. Naveed told DawnNewsTV that he wished to inquire after Begum Kulsoom "in his capacity as a Pak". In the video, upon being questioned, he said: "I went to meet her [...] I haven't done anything wrong." When questioned about this political affiliation, Naveed said that he was a former member of the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... , reiterating that he was there to "support the Sharif family". |
