LAHORE: Former premier Nawaz Sharif’s personal physician Dr Adnan Khan has written to the Punjab government seeking permission to meet him for his medical checkup at the Kot Lakhpat jail.

“Mian Nawaz Sharif requires constant medical care due to significant critical and complicated heart disease and co-morbidities. I have requested the Punjab government and relevant authorities to kindly allow access to Mr Sharif at the earliest & on regular basis for medical consultation,” Dr Khan said in a tweet.

Maryam Nawaz also said her father had ‘persistent angina pain’. Mr Sharif is serving a seven-year-imprisonment in Al-Azizia case.
