LAHORE: Not satisfied with the ‘medical letter’, the Punjab government on Thursday asked the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to submit a detailed and fresh medical report by tomorrow evening (Friday) so that it could decide whether to allow to extend his stay abroad, ARY News reported.
Rejecting the medical letter, Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat, who is also the head of the committee constituted to examine the medical reports of the deposed prime minister, said that Dr Adnan Khan is not the physician of Nawaz Sharif and added that his statement via video link is not needed.
