Not letting family meet Nawaz on Eid is political revenge: Shehbaz Sharif

LAHORE: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday extended Eid greetings to the nation.

In his message, the PML-N leader paid tribute to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and prayed for his early release from jail. 

Condemning the move by the jail authorities to not let the family meet Nawaz, Shehbaz said, "Not letting Nawaz meet his mother and daughter on Eid is political revenge.

He added, “The government is responsible for looking after Nawaz in jail. If anything happens to Nawaz while in jail, Imran Niazi will be responsible." 

The PML-N leader added, that despite the ill health of his brother, he has not been allowed to meet his personal doctor.

He further demanded that a critical care unit be set up in the hospital and that doctors be provided.
