LAHORE:
Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif was shifted back to prison on Thursday after a brief stay at a hospital after he complained of cardiac issues, reported Express News.
The medical board examined the former premier during his six-day stay in the hospital and recommended that Nawaz should remain admitted at the hospital.
Doctors recommend Sharif ‘specialised’ heart treatment
The provincial government, acting on the recommendations of the board, shifted Nawaz to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC), however, the former premier insisted on moving back to prison.
In a tweet, daughter of the former prime minister Maryam Nawaz claimed that the PML-N supremo called for help one night while in prison, but no one responded.
She rebuked the authorities over their callousness and political vengeance.
The former first daughter further stated that the incumbent government will be held responsible if anything were to happen to Nawaz.
PML-N urges govt to send Nawaz abroad for treatment
Earlier on Thursday, party lawmaker Hina Pervez Butt demanded the House to remove the name of the three-time elected premier from the Exit Control List (ECL) and grant him permission to go abroad for treatment.
The demand was put forward in a resolution submitted to the Punjab Assembly Secretariat.
