  1. What a disgrace! First Nawaz sheriff gets medical treatment outside Pakistan followed by
    the President. Next the Pir is flown to uk and passes away. Now the unwell Mehdi Hassan has a death wish i.e to be treated in India. He has no money available for his treatment. I have nothing but compassion for the last named. Has his family been taken into confidence and informed about the diagnosis and prognosis.? i remember a few years back a famous crickter wanted to have his wife flown out of the country because he was unhappy with the treatment meted out to her. I accept everybodys right to be treated where one wishes but it is a sad day for Pakistan,s doctors reputation abroad. No wonder our doctors have trouble getting jobs in europe.
    Let us contribute towards Mehdi,s treatment.
