Former prime minister (PM) and Pakistan Muslaim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif will leave for London today in an air ambulance, accompanied by his brother Shehbaz Sharif and his personal physician Doctor Adnan.
The air ambulance is equipped with an ICU and fully functional operation theater.
PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that the doctors conducted a thorough medical test in the morning.
“If Nawaz Sharif had left 15 days earlier, then his treatment would have already started by now,” Aurangzeb said, adding that “Nawaz will have to be taken to US for treatment.”
She also said that we will consult the doctors in London and then take a decision,, adding that Nawaz was kept on high dose medicine for 15 days.
Aurangzeb further shared that in the absence of Nawaz and Shehbaz, party affairs will be handled by the senior leadership of the PML-N.
The administration of Allama Iqbal International Airport has completed the preparations after receiving a copy of the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) verdict that allowed PML-N supremo to travel abroad. The Interior Ministry has also released a memorandum clearing Nawaz to fly out of the country.
According to the memorandum, in an interim agreement in light of the LHC verdict, Nawaz has been permitted to fly aboard on a ‘one-time permission’ for a period of four weeks on medical grounds.
Moreover, the memorandum includes affidavits submitted by Shehbaz and his elder brother to the LHC.
