The medical board has recommended a hernia surgery for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader. Medical reports also suggest that Abbasi has stones in his bladder and kidney. During Abbasi’s appearance before the accountability court on Monday, the political leader’s counsel submitted a plea praying upon the court to broadcast the LNG scandal trial on television. The former premier also moved a petition in the accountability court seeking permission to be treated at Al-Shifa Hospital on his expense.
