Renowned religious scholar and former chairman of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Mufti Muneebur Rehman, was diagnosed with dengue fever and shifted to a private hospital in Karachi on Tuesday.

According to hospital sources, his condition is being monitored by medical specialists.

Political and social figures, along with religious leaders, have expressed concern and prayed for his early recovery.
