Zardari was in Lahore for a week on a political mission to woo electables from Punjab. His efforts have reportedly gone in vain as no major name joined his party.
His personal physician, Dr Asim Hussian, had maintained that the former president was not well and a team of health experts was monitoring him constantly and carrying out his medical tests.
The accountability court, on June 14, had summoned Zardari and his alleged frontman Mushtaq Ahmed in a case linked to a suspicious transaction of Rs8.3 billion from an account belonging to Bahria Town.
As per the NAB reference, the former president built his palatial house in Clifton with ill-gotten money of which he could not provide proof of purchasing the house through legal means.
