Imran, Zardari, COAS pray for Kulsoom’s health

Author: News Desk

About 24 hours after Begum Kulsoom Nawaz suffered a cardiac arrest, her vitals got stable though she remained on life support, her son Hasan Nawaz told the media on Friday.

He said that because Kulsoom Nawaz was in the intensive care unit (ICU) when the cardiac arrest happened, doctors were able to offer immediate treatment, preventing internal bleeding. “We request the nation to pray for her recovery,” he said.

Begum Kulsoom was shifted to the ICU of a London hospital late on Thursday after her condition deteriorated.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz have reached London to spend the Eid break with the family.

The news about deterioration of Begum Kulsoom’s health was followed by messages by the civil and military leadership of the country with prayers for her early recovery.

Among those who prayed for her health were PTI chairman Imran Khan, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Chief of the Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
