Confirming the report, his family sources said that Zafarullah Jamali suffered a cardiac arrest and was admitted to the ICU at AFIC Hospital. The sources said that his condition was critical and he was placed on ventilator support at the hospital.

Mir Umar Khan Jamali, son of the former prime minister, urged the nation to pray for his father’s early recovery.
