KARACHI, Feb 19: Pakistan Muslim League-F President Pir Pagara, who was admitted to the ICU ward of the Aga Khan Hospital on late Saturday night with asthma complications, is fast improving and is likely to be discharged soon.

This was stated by a spokesman of his residence, the Kingri House, on Sunday.

Pir Pagara, who is also the spiritual leader of the Hur Jamaat, has reportedly asked his followers and friends not to take the trouble of coming to Karachi from other cities to visit him as his condition was improving.

His physician, Dr Masood Hameed, has said that reports of ECG and blood pressure are normal and there is nothing to worry about.

On Sunday, Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad, Chief Minister Dr Arbab Rahim, Ali Gohar Mehar, Nasir Hussain Shah, Syed Zulfikar Ali Jamote and others visited the Pir at the hospital and inquired after his health.—Staff Report
