LAHORE – Maryam Nawaz advocated the release of the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif from jail in point-blank remarks on Tuesday, revealing that the politician was not in good health.
In a series of tweets, Maryam explained the medical condition of the former premier describing it as ‘life-threatening’ while complaining that the government was not paying heed to the situation.
“MNS’s doctor & I met him at Kotlakhpat jail today. During the meeting he had an episode of angina & asked for his nitrate spray. It was then that he divulged that he has had similar attacks 4 times in last week. He reiterated that he will neither report nor complain,” Maryam Tweeted.
In another tweet, Maryam claimed that the government had not offered any treatment to the supreme leader of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz even during his stay at the hospital a few days ago.

Nawaz Sharif was also convicted in the Avenfiled reference by the accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir, however, he was granted bail by the Islamabad High Court.
