At least five officials of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) have stepped up to donate blood to ailing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, ARY News reported.

According to reports, the blood group of the former prime minister (PM) is O+ve and Lahore’s Services Hospital — where Nawaz is admitted — has already cross-matched it with that of the five NAB officials.

The jailed ex-PM was shifted to the hospital after a precarious drop in his platelet count on Monday night, requiring an emergency response.
