Moreover, Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmeen Rashid had also taken notice of ‘threatening’ phone call, directing the authorities concerned to probe into the matter and present a report.
The issue relates to a phone call made by Raja Basharat to Dr Tariq Mehmood Khan Niazi in which the politician had threatened him for defying his order.
