My father’s condition is not good, says Maryam

Earlier today, ex-PM’s daughter Maryam Nawaz said that her father was suffering from angina and he needed immediate treatment. She tweeted earlier in the day: “It’s a medical fact that every episode of angina worsens the heart disease further & can irreversibly damage the heart. Who will I blame or who will be responsible if anything happens to him God forbid? The callousness, I repeat, is shocking.” She continued, “Imagine the extent of the heartlessness, hostility & political victimisation meted out to MNS by the govt that he is risking his health & life.” On Feb 7, it may be recalled that Nawaz Sharif had also refused to be moved to the PIC for treatment, and insisted to shift him back to the Jail.
