The former PM was last seen in aNAB hearing in Rawalpindi on Thursday for a case accusing him, and few other ministers,of accepting luxury vehicles and gifts as a bribe from Toshakhana.

Considering the large number of existing infections in the court, Gilani had requested the judge for a permanent exemption from personal attendance in the court. However, the plea was rejected.

People sent good wishes and offered prayers for the leader's speedy recovery on Twitter. His daughter, too, tweeted for his speedy recovery.
