Maryam also warned that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader would not disclose his pain to anyone else.

I am still waiting for the permission to meet MNS. He is unwell & its been 5 days that I have no access to him. Not even his personal physician has been allowed to see him.
A humble reminder: Force of retribution never sleeps.

"A humble reminder: Force of retribution never sleeps," she stated.

Seeking prayers for the three-time prime minister, Maryam expressed that there was no way she could get any information about his [Nawaz] health.

اور کوئی طریقہ بھی نہیں کہ میں ان کی خیریت معلوم کر سکوں یا طبیعت کا پوچھ سکوں۔ میں بہت پریشان ہوں کیونکہ انہوں نے کہا تھا کہ خدا نا خواستہ کچھ ہوا تو وہ کسی سے نہیں کہیں گے۔ کوئی خبر نہیں ان کی۔ آپ سب ان کو دعاوں میں یاد رکھنا۔ https://t.co/cnjnjZva5I
