DALLAS: Paris Texas Mayor and Cardiologist Dr. Arjumand Hashmi has been specially called in to Dubai for help in the treatment of President Asif Ali Zardari.

According to well-informed sources, Dr. Hashmi has started treatment of President Asif Zardari in Dubai. It is interesting to note that Dr. Hashmi is only a personal physician and a very close friend of former president Pervaiz Musharraf.

Musharraf's personal staff and his security team living at Dr. Hashmi's house indicate their close relations. Dr. Hashmi's house is generally considered as Musharraf's official residence in USA.

General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani had also got his check up done by Dr. Hashmi during his visit to Dallas. Moreover, the victim of recent memo scandal, former ambassador Hussain Haqqani also stayed there during his visit to Dallas a few weeks back.

Earlier, even PTI's chairman Imran Khan also stayed at Dr. Hashmi's residence in his last trip of Dallas, which even Dr. Arjumand Hashmi had acknowledged.

Dr. Hashmi could not be contacted as he did not respond to the telephone call and SMS message.

However, the informed sources have confirmed that Dr. Hashmi has left for Dubai three days ago and that he is included in the team of physicians helping President Zardari.

It is surprising to know that Dr. Hashmi is in the team of experts even though he has never been a physician of President Zardari.
