While addressing a press conference with a cancer survivor, Osama, who recently returned from Turkey after getting treatment for Lever cancer, he said that New Delhi demanded letter of approval from Foreign Minister to issue a medical visa for Osama, which was a clear violation of international laws.
Dr Faisal said that the patients suffered undue wait for medical visas due to Indian state?s attitude.
Speaking on the occasion, Osama said that he regrets Indian attitude because it unnecessarily politicized a humanitarian issue.
?In Turkey, I received treatment with utmost respect,? he said. ?The Turkish government and administration took care of me.?
He thanked Pakistani government for providing assistance during his stay in Turkey.
