- PPP’s Shah asks govt to ban MQM as terror outfit if Dr Asim arrested for abetting it
- Sindh Rangers raid Zaiuddin Hospital in Nazimabad, examine record of billing and IT departments
Speaking to journalists during his visit to village Shadi Khan, where he condoled the death of Late Shuja Khanzada, National Assembly opposition leader Syed Khrsheed Shah on Wednesday said that if former petroleum minister and Sindh Higher Education Commission (HEC) Chairman Dr Asim Hussain was arrested for allegedly abetting Muttahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) then Hussain-led party should be banned after proving that it is a terrorist organisation.
Shah said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has provided all-out support for the war against terrorism and would continue till the last terrorist was eliminated.
Commenting about Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Shah claimed Imran Khan wanted to “break so many things”. “On the other hand, we want Parliament and democracy to prevail and not broken,” he added.
The PPP leader said that gap created after the martyrdom of Shuja Khanzada was difficult to be filled and his party will not contest election for PP-16 seat. He categorically stated that nobody will be awarded the PPP ticket to contest PP-16 by-poll.
Meanwhile, the Sindh Rangers conducted a raid on Zaiuddin Hospital in Nazimabad again on Wednesday and examined important record of the facility. Sources said the data of the billing and IT departments was collected during the raid.
Sources said that the paramilitary force sealed off entry and exit points of the facility during the raid. They added that the operation was carried out in a particular department on the information provided by Ziauddin Hospital Deputy Medical Superintendent Dr Yousuf Sattar, who was rounded up during a raid at the hospital on August 29.
The action against the Ziauddin Hospital has been underway for the last few days following the arrest of Dr Asim Hussain, the chairman of Dr Ziauddin Group of Hospitals and a former petroleum adviser to the prime minister.
