Former Finance Minister Asad Umar was urgently transported to a hospital after suffering health complications during his appearance at an anti-terrorism court in Lahore. Umar’s legal representative reported that he began experiencing heart-related discomfort while in the courtroom on Tuesday. PTI leader Zain Qureshi was present with Umar and accompanied him to the hospital, where he underwent a medical examination and tests. Earlier in June, Umar was admitted to a hospital in Karachi due to back problems. In November of the previous year, Umar stepped down from the PTI party and announced his retirement from politics.
