Nawaz Sharif advised to take rest as health deteriorates

LAHORE: Former premier Mian Nawaz Sharif may not be able to meet people visiting his residence to extend condolences over his wife’s death as doctors have advised him to take rest after his health condition deteriorated, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

According to ARY News correspondent, the former PM, who was released on parole after his wife Kulsoom Nawaz’s death in London, underwent a medical checkup at Sharif City Hospital after his health deteriorated after reaching his residence here.

The doctors have reportedly advised him to take rest as he has been under a lot of stress and mental fatigue.

The PML-N supreme leader, who is serving jail term with his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Capt. (retd) Safdar, after being convicted in a corruption reference by an accountability court, was released from Adiala Jail earlier today, and is now at his Raiwind residence.

The coffin of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz, Sharif’s wife and former MNA, who breathed her last in a London hospital, will be brought back to Lahore for a funeral and burial on Friday.

Begum Kulsoom, breathed her last at a hospital in London on Tuesday, will have two separate funerals; one in London and the other at Raiwind before her burial.

Shehbaz Sharif is expected to fly back with her body to Lahore on Friday.
