LAHORE: Opposition leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday lamented that he was not allowed to meet his brother Nawaz Sharif in Kot Lakhpat Jail.
“Despite repeated requests, I was barred from inquiring after Mian Sahib today too,” he said in a tweet. “I and other family members would meet [Nawaz] two to three times a week in order to keep abreast of his health but now [their meeting] has been limited to Thursday.”
Slamming the government, the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader said, “Depriving a mother, sister, brother and daughter of this right is utter injustice.”
بار بار درخواست کرنے کے باوجود مجھے آج بھی میاں صاحب کی تیمارداری سےروک دیا گیا۔ میں اور خاندان کے دیگر افراد ہفتے میں 2’3 بار ملتے تھے تا کہ ان کی صحت کے بارے میں با خبر رہ سکیں لیکن اب صرف جمعرات تک محدود کر دیا گیا۔ ماں، بہن، بھائی اور بیٹی سے یہ حق چھیننا سراسرظلم و زیادتی ہے
