Pakistan’s President, Asif Ali Zardari, was urgently hospitalized in Karachi due to a worsening of his condition.
Sources from the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and local news outlet ARY News have reported that he is in a private facility undergoing medical tests to identify the issue. Doctors closely monitor his condition, but no specific diagnosis has been shared yet.

According to PPP insiders, security has ramped up around the hospital, with police and law enforcement ensuring safety. Just a day earlier, Zardari led Eid ul Fitr prayers at Zardari House in Nawabshah, joined by a crowd. He prayed for national progress and then mingled with attendees—including Deputy Speaker Ghulam Mustafa Shah and ministers Ali Hassan and Zia Lanjar—swapping Eid greetings.

In 2024, he fractured his foot while stepping off a plane in Dubai during a private trip. The spokesperson for the President’s House announced that he received immediate medical attention, with doctors applying a cast for four weeks and advising complete rest. This injury caused him to postpone an official visit to China. This latest incident has raised new concerns as the nation awaits further updates.
