LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday disallowed PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz to have home-made food.

A source told Dawn the NAB had withdrawn the facility of allowing home-made food to Ms Maryam on the order from the ‘top’. “From now on she will have food prepared at the NAB headquarters at Thokar Niaz Beg,” he said, adding she would be given meal in prison as per jail manual.

The PML-N has criticised Prime Minister Imran Khan for not allowing Maryam home-made food in the NAB custody. This week the government denied Hamza Shahbaz the facility of home-made food in Kot Lakhpat jail.

“By denying home-made food to Maryam and Hamza in prison, selected Prime Minister Imran Khan has again proved that he is a small man,” PML-N Information Secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb said.
