  "account": "Health Minister Mustafa Kamal stated on Thursday that a judicial commission could be formed to investigate the deadly fire at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) if the inquiry committee constituted by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif fails to provide satisfactory answers. Fourteen newborn babies were killed in the fire at the Mother and Child Hospital ward on Wednesday. Prime Minister Shehbaz suspended Health Secretary Aslam Ghori and formed the inquiry committee headed by former interior secretary Shahid Khan. Kamal compared the incident to the Gul Plaza tragedy in Karachi, where more than 70 people died in a fire, and noted that the situations in Sindh and Islamabad were different. However, he reiterated that a judicial commission could be formed if necessary.",
