LAHORE: The former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was shifted to Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) for his medical check up on Tuesday.

According to local news channel report, a three-member medical board comprises doctors from PIC examined the PML-N supremo.

Earlier, his daughter, Maryam Nawaz said that she had been informed that Nawaz Sharif is unwell.

Maryam Nawaz added that the family still hasn’t received reports given by the medical boards. She said a request in this regard has also been forwarded to the Home Department after pleading with the jail authorities.

I have been told that MNS is unwell and is being taken to PIC tomorrow but myself or the family have no knowledge of it. We still haven’t received the reports given by the medical boards. After pleading with the jail authorities, we have also written to the Home department.

It is pertinent to mention here that an accountability court on December 24 had found the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader guilty in the Al Azizia Steel Mills reference and sentenced him to seven years jail. He is in Kot Lakhpat Jail Lahore since then.
