PML-N president and opposition leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif has apprehended kidney failure of jailed Nawaz Sharif if air conditioner is removed from his cell. In a letter written to Chief Secretary Punjab, Shahbaz said that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is facing acute kidney problem and removal of air conditioner from his cell would tantamount to violation of recommendations of a medical board.
While mentioning recommendations of medical board, Shahbaz said that first recommendation of medical board is that Nawaz Sharif should be kept in moderate temperature due to the threat of kidney failure. Shahbaz said he wonders that how interior ministry can ignore such important matter regarding the health of Nawaz Sharif.
He said that this step is an attack on the health of his brother for political victimization and alleged that all these steps are being taken upon the orders of PM Imran Khan. He said that such steps will leave really worse impacts on Nawaz Sharif's health. Three times elected PM should not be deprived of his legal rights, he added.
While addressing to CS Punjab, he has expressed hope that he would also be aware of dire consequences of this step as well as adverse impact that will leave on the health of Nawaz Sharif.
Copies of Shahbaz letter have also been sent to Chief Justice of Pakistan, Chief Justice Lahore High Court, Additional Chief Secretary Interior Punjab and IG prisons.
