LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday filed a plea in the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking permission to meet former prime minister Nawaz Sharif twice a week.
In her plea, Maryam stated that her father is suffering from heart and other diseases and government is only allowing meeting him once in a week.
