Sharif family to meet Shehbaz today

NAB is yet to get Shehbaz’s detailed medical checkup done from Sheikh Zayed Hospital

LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has granted permission to the Sharif family to meet Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday (today).

According to sources on Saturday, the permission was sought earlier during the week.

The family members, who are likely to meet Shehbaz, include former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Hamza Shehbaz, Nusrat Shehbaz and Maryam Nawaz. Other than family matters, party and overall political issues are likely to be discussed during the meeting.

It is also pertinent to mention here that NAB has yet to get Shehbaz’s detailed medical checkup done from Sheikh Zayed Hospital, which the bureau had assured the court on November 30 would be done.

Earlier in November, after a series of medical examinations ordered by the court, it surfaced that Shehbaz was suffering from a kidney infection, a lymph node in his chest with chances of recurrence of cancer.
