The family of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Senator Irfan ul Haq Siddiqui has categorically dismissed social media speculation claiming the veteran lawmaker has been placed on ventilator support, confirming instead that he is receiving specialized care in an intensive care unit for respiratory complications.
In an official statement released Monday, Siddiqui’s relatives clarified that while breathing difficulties necessitated his transfer to the ICU at an Islamabad hospital, medical professionals have not required ventilator assistance. They emphasized that his vital signs remain stable under continuous medical supervision.
The clarification came after widespread rumors triggered concern throughout political circles and among supporters of the prominent parliamentarian. The family expressed frustration over unverified reports creating unwarranted panic, urging the public to rely exclusively on information provided by family members or authorized medical personnel.
Senator Siddiqui has been hospitalized in the federal capital for several days, though specific details regarding his respiratory condition have not been publicly disclosed. Medical staff continue closely monitoring his progress while administering appropriate treatment protocols.
A distinguished political commentator and accomplished columnist, Siddiqui has established himself as an influential voice within Pakistan’s legislative framework. He currently represents PML-N in the Senate and previously served the government as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on National Affairs, bringing decades of political expertise to his role.
The misinformation spread rapidly across social platforms earlier in the day, prompting immediate response from family members concerned about accuracy. They have requested prayers for the senator’s swift recovery while promising timely updates on his condition through official channels only.
Political colleagues from across party lines have expressed solidarity and wished for his speedy recuperation.
