ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyam Aurangzeb took to Twitter on Tuesday to denounce the Punjab government’s decision to reject a request by former premier Nawaz Sharif for extention in his stay in London for medical treatment.
In a series of tweets, she said the Lahore High Court (LHC) granted the PML-N supreme leader permission to travel abroad for treatment.
She added the former premier’s medical reports were submitted to the government as per the directives of the court and all legal requirements in this regard were fulfilled.
Ms Aurangzeb alleged “Imran-mafia” put pressure on the Punjab government to deny Nawaz Sharif extension in his bail.
She said the ailing former premier will soon return from abroad after getting better.
