Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, youngest daughter of former president Asif Ali Zardari also said that we fear for our father’s health.

She wrote in a tweet, “My father has had no access to his doctors for 6 months. Govt purposely retracts information from his medical reports by govt doctors. As a diabetic heart patient with spinal issues, we fear for his health & have gone to Court for private doctors to be allowed to assess his health.”

She further said that getting proper medical care is basic and legal right of every prisoner.

Earlier on October 22, 2018, Zardari was brought to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) from Adiala jail and admitted to the cardiology department’s VIP ward.

The former president had complaints of backache, weakness and anxiety.
