Senior PML-N leader Rana Afzal passes away in Faisalabad

In 2013, he was elected as MNA and served as state minister for finance

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Rana Afzal died of a cardiac arrest in Faisalabad on Friday. He was 70 years old.

A few days ago, he suffered from angina pain and was admitted to AFIC hospital in Faisalabad, according to Express News.

Hospitals sources said that Afzal, who had also served as the state minister during the PML-N government, was placed on ventilator after his health deteriorated but did not survive.

Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi appointed Afzal as state minister for finance in 2017.
