Government showing non-serious attitude over Nawaz's health: Ahsan Iqbal

 

ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal said on Sunday that the federal government is showing non-serious attitude over the health condition of the Pakistan Muslim-Nawaz leader Nawaz Sharif's health.

"The same attitude was seen by the government representatives during the illness of Late Kulsoom Nawaz," he said.

The lawmaker from Narowal said that the government will be responsible in case of any unforeseen circumstance. He said that the PTI government's inexperience has decimated the national economy.

Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz, daughter of Nawaz Sharif, has maintained the former premier's kidney function had deteriorated and that his doctor’s concern was not unfounded.

Nawaz, thrice the prime minister of Pakistan, has been in jail since December 2018 following his conviction in a corruption reference in line with the Supreme Court’s July 2017 verdict.

Maryam met Nawaz at Kot Lakhpat jail, where party workers who had arrived to express solidarity with the former prime minister, welcomed her upon arrival.

"The blood tests done yesterday reveal a further rise in his CREATININE levels which means his kidney function has deteriorated," the former first daughter said on Twitter after the meeting.
