KARACHI: TV host and PTI Member of National Assembly (MNA) Aamir Liaquat Hussain and his wife Tuba Aamir are the latest to test positive for the novel coronavirus.
Taking to Twitter, Aamir Liaquat wrote, “We are under attack. Attacker detected, the notorious COVID-19. Victims: Aamir Liaquat and Syeda Tuba Aamir. “Prayers needed,” he added.
The TV celebrity said that today marks the second day of being infected. “Today is the second day. Ginger, Garlic, Kalongi, Black Pepper, Clove, Star Maze and Cinnamon are the helpers,” he said, speaking of his bid to relieve symptoms.
Hussain who won on a PTI ticket from NA-245 in the 2018 general elections, had earlier hinted at resigning in a post on Twitter, citing reasons that he could not offer his constituents any respite from Karachi’s frequent power outages.
