Maulana Tariq Jameel undergoes angioplasty

LAHORE: Prominent religious scholar Maulana Tariq Jameel who had been hospitalised after complaining of chest pain, successfully underwent angioplasty on Tuesday night. 

According to the doctors, a stent has been inserted into the religious scholar’s clogged artery to clear the blockage. The stent will hold the artery open and allow



a free flow of blood.

Further, the doctors have advised Maulana Jameel complete rest.
