Maryam meets father Nawaz at Kot Lakhpat Jail

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz on Thursday met her father, ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif at Kot Lakhpat Jail.

The PML-N vice president inquired about the health of her father and discussed ongoing political situation in the country. Other PML-N leaders including Rana Sanaullah, Mushahidullah and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi were also present on the occasion.

On May 8, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif returned to Kot Lakhpat Jail in a rally of his party workers and leaders after expiry of six-week bail in a corruption case.

Sharif was released from jail on March 27 on medical grounds after the apex court suspended his sentence in the Al-Azizia reference and granted him bail for six weeks.

The PML-N supreme leader was sentenced to seven years in prison and was fined Rs1.5 billion and $25 million in the Al-Azizia corruption reference by an accountability court on December 24, 2018.

However, he was acquitted in another reference related to Flagship Investments.

Besides, he was also disqualified from holding any public office for the period of 10 years. The disqualification will go into effect following his release from jail after serving the seven-year sentence.
