Witnessing a female cancer patient battling on personal and national fronts, PML-N vice president brushed aside political differences and wished provincial health minister a speedy recovery.
She penned down some heart-touching lines for Dr Yasmin in the same tweet, recalling that her mother had also succumbed to the same disease.
“I pray for the health of Dr Yasmin Rashid. My mother suffered from this insidious disease and I know how painful it is. Dr. Sahiba is also a mother. May Allah keep all mothers safe. Ameen”
ڈاکٹر یاسمین راشد کی صحت کے لیے دعا گو ہوں۔ میری والدہ نے اس موذی مرض کا سامنا کیا ہے اور میں جانتی ہوں یہ کتنی تکلیف دے بیماری ہے۔ ڈاکٹر صاحبہ بھی ماں ہیں۔ اللّہ ماؤں کو سلامت رکھے۔ آمین

This warm gesture for the political opponent couldn’t keep media persons and social activists to sing praises for Maryam, who despite all differences, has certainly set a precedent in modern political anomie.
Dr Yasmin Rashid health minister of punjab is an iron lady who lost all hairs because of cancer, still working devotedly to deal with emergency situations during this pandemic. Whenever I met her, she never let her down. Stay blessed mam 🙂 pic.twitter.com/vhTAv3Q2Xn

بہت عمدہ روایت ھے، یہی انسانیت ھے، یہی احساس ھے جو معاشرے کے زندہ ہونے کی علامت ہوا کرتا ھے۔ ڈاکٹر صاحبہ کی صحتیابی کے لئے ڈھیروں دعائیں، خاکسار کی ماں بھی کینسر کا شکار رہی ہیں، اہل خانہ پر کیا بیتتی ھے، ناقابل بیان ھے،ایسے میں نیک خواہشات اور دعائیں بہت حوصلہ افزا ثابت ہوتی ہیں https://t.co/OV8nWMyd9b
