The organisation also prayed for the scholar, saying “May Allah give Molana Tariq Jamil shifaa.”

Many of his followers poured in prayers for his speedy recovery and good health.

In 2019, the prominent religious scholar also suffered a cardiac arrest and underwent a successful angioplasty in Lahore.

Maulana Tariq Jameel underwent an angioplasty at a private hospital in the Punjab capital city. A stent was inserted in his heart to clear the blockage of arteries.

The popular scholar had also contracted the deadly coronavirus in December 2020, but he had fully recovered from the infectious disease.

Earlier this year in April, the scholar also underwent an eye surgery.

The maulana posted a picture of himself on his Instagram giving lectures to students wearing black glasses after the surgery.

“Had a cataract surgery done on my right eye due to which I have to wear black glasses,” said Tariq Jamil.

Saad Rafique warned his party’s present government to avoid becoming a laughing stock since politics requires political moves.

“Bans and prohibitions come where dictatorship prevails over democracy,” PML-N veteran Javed Abbasi remarked of the social media ban.

“Can we ban matches factories fearing they ignite fire?” he asked. He said, “We scare of truth and try to keep it under the veil.”

He called the PML-N administration cruel for banning free speech.

The Interior Ministry said the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday that X, formerly Twitter, needed to be banned since it violated Pakistani legislation.

Interior Secretary Khurram Agha reported on the high court’s rulings on the social media ban petition for the ministry.

Social networking site X was down for two months in Pakistan when the hearing took place.
