PESHAWAR:
Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e- Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad was on Wednesday given treatment at the Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) after he developed problems in his urine and pain in his knee.
Doctors prescribed him one month medicine and physiotherapy.
The TNSM chief developed the health problems during his detention in Central Prison Peshawar where the doctors referred him to LRH for proper treatment. Orthopaedic doctors examined him and found no signs of any serious illness.
“There was not a serious problems but he had the problems of urine and knee pain where the doctors conducted an ultrasound. The doctors prescribed him medicines and advised him to rest after using the medicine and physiotherapy for a month,” spokesperson of LRH, Syed Jamil Shah told The Express Tribune.
He added that it depended on the jail authority whether Muhammad could be reexamined in the hospital or in the prison where he is serving his sentence. He further said that they had just examined him and all medicines and additional services would be provided by the doctors in prison.
In July of last year, Peshawar High Court ordered to shift the case of Sufi Muhammad from Lower Dir to Peshawar, while his train is being conducted inside the prison.
Several cases of alleged terrorism are pending against him and other activists of TNSM.
