Punjab government on Thursday has demanded former Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif to submit his fresh medical reports failing which action will be taken against him. It is worth mentioning here that NS is currently in London on bail for treatment and the provincial government has termed the reports submitted by Nawaz’s side as insufficient and asked him to present new health-related documents.
PML-N supremo’s physician Dr Adnan Khan said that the ex-PM will be hospitalised for treatment next week since he is suffering from Cardiac Catheterization/Coronary Intervention to treat complex coronary artery disease.
On Oct. 29, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended the sentence of former premier Nawaz Sharif on medical grounds for eight weeks in the Al-Azizia reference case. The court had ordered him to submit two surety bonds of Rs. 2 million each to the court for securing his release.
A plea for bail had been filed by PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif for his brother Nawaz, who was under treatment at Lahore’s Services Hospital. The court further announced that for an extension in bail, the Punjab government should be approached.
On Oct. 25, Nawaz procured bail on medical grounds in the ongoing Chaudhry Sugar Mills case from the Lahore High Court.
