As the matter regarding former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s medical treatment lingers on, Maryam Nawaz has announced today (Friday) that she will stand outside Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat jail in protest.

In a message on Twitter, Maryam Nawaz said: “Nawaz Sharif had pain in the flanks. His kidney disease is at stage 3 and the doctor suspects the pain to be of renal origin.

 His urea and creatinine levels must be checked but the doctor who was sent to examine him was made to wait two hours outside jail. He was not allowed in and sent back.”
