ISLAMABAD: A sweet treat turned sour for some religious scholars and two of them had to be shifted to ICU on Thursday. Ulema gathered at Abdul Ghafoor Haideri's residence at Parliament Lodges to take a decision about participating in Ulema Conference at Interior Ministry.
Haideri served his guests 'Khoor Halwa', a sweet dish prepared of dates, which caused them to fall ill.
They had decided that Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman alone will participate in the conference and the rest of them therefore stayed with Haideri.
But soon after, Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Hyderi, Liaquat Baloch, Haji Hanif Tayyab and Mian Aslam fell ill and were rushed to Polyclinic hospital.
Sources informed that the 'Halwa' was not fresh and had turned bad that caused food poisoning upon consummation.
The medical reports however were not disclosed to the media. So rumours kept on circulating that some kind of poison may have been mixed in the sweet dish.
