Maryam Nawaz undergoes 'successful throat surgery' in Geneva

PML-N senior vice president Maryam Nawaz has undergone successful throat surgery in Geneva, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Friday.

In a tweet, the information minister said the PML-N leader was doing well after a three-hour long surgery.

“Maryam Nawaz thanked the people and workers who sent messages of prayers and good wishes,” she added.

Aurangzeb on Wednesday had said that the PML-N leader would return to the country in the third week of January.

On her return, Maryam Nawaz would assume her new responsibilities as 'chief organiser' of the party, the minister said in a tweet.

The minister had said the PML-N vice president had gone to Geneva from London for her surgery accompanied by PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif.
