Maryam Aurangzeb, former federal minister and spokesperson forthe PML-N, said in a message posted on her party Twitter account that authorities should allow the doctor who knows his medical history for the past 20 years to see Sharif. “We expect the caretaker Prime Minister Nasir-ul-Mulk will take notice of this situation,” she added. Aurangzeb also said in series of tweets that the nation is concerned about Sharif’s medical condition in the jail. “PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif had written letters to the caretaker premier and Punjab chief minister to appeal to provide basic amenities to Nawaz,” Marriyum said. She added that jail authorities deprived Nawaz of basic facilities, which led to his sickness. “Nawaz’s condition worsened due to denial of facilities,” she added. Sharif, who is a heart patient, has not been well since Saturday after his blood pressure shot up and reportedly his kidneys also suffered. A team of medical doctors examined Sharif in jail late on Saturday night but the report was not shared with the media.
