Maulana Tariq Jameel discharged from hospital after angioplasty

LAHORE – Renowned Islamic scholar Maulana Tariq Jameel, who underwent angioplasty yesterday, has been discharged from a hospital after recovering from chest pain.

The leading figure of the Tablighi Jamaat left the hospital Wednesday evening, a day after he was admitted to a private hospital in Lahore’s Johar Town for cardiac pain. Jameel underwent an angioplasty at the hospital and a stent was inserted in his heart to clear the blockage of arteries.

He will spend some days at the residence of his brother.

Earlier today, Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar inquired after Tariq Jameel's health and also resented a bouquet to the religious scholar.

Speaking on the occasion, the Punjab governor said, "Maulana Tariq Jameel is a renowned religious scholar and an asset of the country."

Ch Sarwar said every devotee of Maulana Tariq Jameel was praying for his early recovery.
