Sheikh Rasheed rushed to hospital after health deteriorates

ISLAMABAD: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed was rushed to the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology (RIC) on Monday after his health deteriorated, ARY News reported.

According to details, the former interior minister was shifted to the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology (RIC) due to complaints of chest pain.

Sheikh Rasheed was immediately attended by medical professionals at the hospital’s emergency department. Medical examinations, including an electrocardiogram (ECG), were swiftly conducted to assess his condition.

As a precautionary measure, the AML chief is being kept under observation at the hospital.

Recently, Sheikh Rasheed resurfaced after a month-long disappearance and condemned the May 9 riots while calling PTI chief Imran Khan a ‘stubborn’.

Talking to a private news channel, the former interior minister said that he had been on a ‘Chilla’ (apparently spending time underground) for the last 40 days.

Rasheed – an ally of PTI chief Imran Khan – said that he had the opportunity to reflect on many things during the chilla in this age. “No one caused any harm during this period”, he added.

The AML president further said that he always stood by Pakistan Army, noting that he had also suggested PTI chief that “one should keep good terms with the army”. “I am proud to call myself the spokesperson of Pakistan Army”, Rasheed insisted.
