Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousuf Raza Gilani tested positive for coronavirus, to his son Kasim Gilani informed on Saturday. In his tweet, Kasim slammed Imran Khan's administration for putting his father's life in danger. He tweeted, "Thank you Imran Khan’s govt and National Accountability Bureau! You have successfully put my father’s life in danger. His COVID-19 result came positive."
He accused the government and the National Accountability Bureau of endangering the senior PPP leader's life by summoning him for the investigation in connection with a corruption case. On Thursday, Gilani had appeared for a hearing at NAB's office in Rawalpindi. Earlier, Gilani requested the judge for exemption from personal attendance in the court as many lawmakers had tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
Along with Gilani, former president Asif Ali Zardari, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif were also named by NAB in the same corruption case.
Earlier on Saturday morning, former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi tested positive for COVID-19.
