According to reports, K-P Opposition leader and provincial leader of Jamiat Ulema Islam (JUI-F) Maulana Lutfur Rehman was brought to Shifa Hospital with heart problem on the second day of Eid.

Presently, Maulana Rehman was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital, where doctors were monitoring his condition, which according to insiders was “not good.”

Earlier, Maulana had undergone angioplasty and two stents were fitted in his heart at Shifa Hospital. Following the operation, in the last week of August, he was allowed to go home.

However his condition deteriorated again last weekend. The youngest brother of Maulana Fazlur Rehman was initially hospitalised on Saturday night in his hometown Dera Ismail Khan. However, after initial checkup, doctors advised that Maulana Rehman should be rushed immediately to Islamabad for better medical care.
