In a statement on Twitter, Maryam said that her father’s kidney disease was in its third stage which could prove to be serious. She also demanded immediate medical attention for Sharif so that his exact condition could be diagnosed and claimed that a personal health care provider who had gone to meet Sharif for the purpose had been sent back after waiting for two hours. Meanwhile, PML-N Punjab senior vice president Malik Nadeem Kamran has also sent a letter to the Punjab home ministry’s additional secretary requesting that Maryam Nawaz and her personal doctor be allowed to meet Nawaz Sharif immediately. PML-N central leader Asif Kirmani has also, in a statement, demanded that Maryam, her personal physician and Sharif’s family be allowed to meet the former prime minister on a daily basis until he regains his health, terming it their basic right.
