Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader, Maryam Nawaz has said that her father is still not feeling well with continuous angina. Along with her grandmother Shamim Begum and other family members, Maryam Nawaz visited her incarcerated father at Kot Lakhpat Jail on Thursday. The PML-N workers showered rose petals on the car of the family of their leader and chanted slogans in their favour. Speaking to media while returning from jail, Shamim Begum said that she hoped his son will soon get a release as her all prayers with him. “Today again during the meeting he had to use the sublingual spray for the pain and breathlessness. Please remember him in your daily prayers. Thank you all,” Maryam tweeted after meeting the former premier. The daughter of former premier had said a day earlier that he (Nawaz) would not be able to receive any visitors owing to his ill condition. “May Allah SWT bless him with long life and good health (Ameen). We all need him. Pakistan needs him. Thank you, everyone, for your kind & continuous support. Means a lot to me,” she had said.
