Nawaz Sharif To Leave Pakistan On Tuesday, Confirms PML-N

Nawaz Departs Abroad For Medical Treatment On Tuesday

For the past year, Nawaz’s imprisonment has been the point of disagreement between the government and the opposition. The demands for his NRO were raised which were consistently denied by the government. But recently he was given permission to leave the land for treatment abroad and in new developments, he will be leaving on Tuesday, says PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb.

According to the statement of the party’s spokesperson issued today, on Tuesday morning an air ambulance will arrive to take Nawaz abroad. Lahore High Court (LHC) granted permission to the former premier of taking a four weeks medical treatment trip abroad. However, the extension of the duration of this trip will be based on medical reports.

Marium Aurangzeb further added that the doctors after a detailed examination of the health of Nawaz had consulted one another to make him fit for traveling. She also stated that Nawaz is under the process of being given a high dose of steroids. This to balance his low platelet count to make it suitable for his travel. Moreover, some medication will also be given to him to bring his high blood sugar to a lower level, meanwhile resolving other medical concerns too.

The court issued an order to the Federal government.

The government had demanded Nawaz to submit an indemnity bond worth over Rs7.5 billion. It was to be granted with one-time permission to travel abroad for medical treatment. But the condition was challenged in LHC which ended in being taken up.

This order was announced on Saturday. It was done by a two-judge bench of the high court around 5:45 pm. After the marathon proceeding that was heard in the presence of Shahbaz Sharif and other leaders of PML-N at 12:15 pm.
