Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) President and chief of his own faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani died of a heart attack at noon on Thursday. He was 78. Maulana Noorani suffered a severe cardiac seizure at home while preparing for a meeting of opposition parties in parliament. He was taken to the Federal Government Services Hospital at 12:35pm but doctors were unable to revive him. âMaulana Noorani was titzup dead on arrival,â Dr Shahbaz Ahmed told Daily Times.
| "Looks pretty good with a toe tag, doesn't he?" |
Maulana Nooraniâs secretary told Daily Times that he had contacted the Senate doctor soon after his condition deteriorated but the doctor refused to come. Maulana Noorani had undergone two heart by-pass operations in 1980s and was to have angiography after the conclusion of the current Senate session. His body was flown to Karachi in a C-130 provided by the federal government.
"Mahmoud!"
"Yes, General Mr. President, sir!"
"Lend them a C130 to get the body out of here!"
"Yeesir!"
"Tell 'em to fly it out before it starts to stink! Oh, and here's a buck. Send flowers, too, in my name." |
