Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has confirmed that he is alright in response to a late-Friday night viral photo that appeared to be of him visiting a hospital in Rawalpindi.
A photo of him on a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on was being shared on various social media platforms and his health status and the cause of the sudden hospital admittance were topics of discussion among his supporters.
He assured those who became a bit scared after seeing his photo from the operation theatre in an audio message tweeted early on Saturday morning that he was well.
He claimed the reason for his hospital visit was to receive a small procedure and a general examination that the medical professionals at the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology determined was required and was completed in a state-of-the-art manner.
A little treatment and a routine examination are required every two to three years as a result of Sanaullah’s 2004 heart surgery, he said.
He continued by saying that he had made two to three hospital visits this year for the same reason.
The interior minister added that he would receive approval “within a day or two” to be discharged from the hospital.
He pleaded with his friends to refrain from going to the hospital and assured them that they would be “most welcomed” when he gets home on Sunday.
