Zardari to be shifted to 2nd floor of Pims
RAWALPINDI, Aug 27: After the Islamabad police has declared the shifting of Asif Ali Zardari, the spouse of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, to the Police Line Headquarters hospital a risk, the district administration has decided to remove Mr Zardari to the 2nd floor of the Pims hospital during the early hours of Wednesday, official source said on Tuesday.
The interior division had already been directed by the health ministry that the jailed PPP leader, who is under-treatment in the Pims hospital, should be shifted to the Police Lines Headquarters hospital, Islamabad. The source said the directives were given in view of the problems being faced by the patients due to the presence of political prisoners in the hospital.
But, the police refused to give security clearance for the shifting of Mr Zardari to the police line hospital, therefore, the interior division decided to remove Mr Zardari to Pims , the source said.
