Dr Adnan was attacked to obstruct Nawaz's treatment, claims Shehbaz Sharif
39
PML-N chief and Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday condemned the attack on Nawaz Sharif's personal physician Dr Adnan Khan.
He said that the nature of the attack showed it was a "planned and organised incident" and he claimed that the attack was carried out to cause "obstruction in Nawaz Sharif's treatment".
Shehbaz added that a complaint was registered with the London police and expressed the hope that they would bring to light the people responsible [for the attack] after investigation. However, police has not yet made a comment on the nature of the attack.
PML-N leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Ahsan Iqbal have also condemned the attack.
Khan was out on his daily walk when he was attacked by two masked men, Geo News reported. According to the report, he sustained injuries on his head, face and chest after the two men attacked him from behind, punched him and hit him with a metal bar. Khan was taken to a hospital.
Khan accompanied Nawaz when he left for London for his treatment in November and has remained with the former premier since then.
He is the chief executive of Sharif Medical City — a medical and educational organisation in Lahore, executive director of Sharif Medical and Research Centre, a fellow of the World Health Organisation and a former member of the National Steering Committee of the Prime Minister's National Health Programme.

The same PML-N leadership was blaming MQM's leadership for Dr. Imran Farooq's murder without concrete evidence. Now you know how these things happen? This is called "Karma" what goes around comes around. Prayers and best wishes for Dr. Adnan. Hope he gets well soon.

How can CEO of Shareef Medical City afford such long leave from the hospital to take care of one particular patient. ? If hospital can run with out him for so long may be CEO is not needed and his Hefty monthly salary could be used to provide low cost treatment to poor patients visiting this health care facility

Scotland Yard are treating it as a street crime, as Dr. Adnan's watch was also stolen. But of course facts don't meet Shahbaz's criteria so obviously he wouldn't mention that.

Looks like doctor was not providing another medical certificate for sharifs and demanding more money. He then got "Pitai" from Shabaz. You can see Shahbaz is not making eye contacts with media to hide his real face. What a joke! People of Pakistan please wake up now recognize real faces of these leaders.

The London police has investigated the incident and determined it as a street crime with no ulterior motives, planning, or terrorist connections
So mow Shabaz is a super sleuth. And how can Dr Adnan who is not registered as as a docrore and not allowed to practice medicine without an England licence treat NS
And pls do tell us that what treatment has NS received during the last 3 months he is there. What procedures, what surgery, what medication.> what is the diagnosis and prognosis
the nation can not be fooled for ever. You may try all tricks to fool them and let you free to loot but this is not going to happen

All attempts by Shehbaz Sharif to fool the public will fail. First, NS is NOT undergoing any kind of treatment. Secondly, Dr. Adnan is NOT licensed to practice medicine in the UK.
