PPP Chairman Mr Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to stop playing with the lives of his political rivals and issue directives to ensure that the best healthcare facilities are provided to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif which is his fundamental right.

I would like to remind the young Bilawal that all Pakistanis have the same right to be provided with best healthcare facilities. Has he ever asked his government, when they were in power, and are still in power in Sindh to provide the best medical facilities to the poor especially the people who have time and again voted the PPP to power? The less said about the state of hospitals and healthcare in Sindh the better.
