Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government has taken notice of ailing legendary comedian Umer Sharif’s appeal to travel abroad for treatment.
In a video message shared by renowned anchor Waseem Badami in his show on ARY News, Umer appealed to Premier Khan to arrange his urgent travel to America for treatment.
“Doctors here advised me to travel abroad for treatment. They suggested I can get better treatment in America,” he shared in the video clip.
“I was lucky to help Imran Khan in his efforts to build Shaukat Khanum Hospital. Now, I am looking forward to the Prime Minister for his help to arrange my travel abroad,” he added.
عمر شریف صاحب سے آج ملاقات ہوی۔ آپ سب سے بہت دعاوں کی گزارش کی ہے۔

“Whenever you had called me for something, I was there to help you. I hope you will do the same in this difficult time,” Umer appealed to PM Khan.
Now, Badami has disclosed that the Prime Minister House officially approached him and assured him to arrange immediate travel of the legendary artist for treatment abroad.
کچھ دیر قبل وزیر اعظم صاحب کے دفتر سے فون آیا ہے اور کہا گیا کہ عمر شریف صاحب کے جلد بیرون ملک سفر کو یقینی بنانے کے لیے ہر ممکن کام کیا جاے گا۔
جزاک اللہ
