Doctors will decide this week when former prime minister’s wife can return to Pakistan

Kulsoom, who recently underwent a throat surgery and at present is residing at her son Hasan's residence, is in London for treatment of lymphoma.

In a statement released on Monday, Shehbaz lashed out at the country's 'enemies', saying those levelling baseless allegations and spreading lies have failed at every step.

"The people see your hollow claims," he said, adding that those spreading lies will continue to fail at every step.

"These elements are against timely completion of development projects," he claimed further.
