Raja Zafarul Haq, Ahsan Iqbal, Khawaja Asif, Marriyum Aurangzeb will be at the Hajj lounge to see off the former prime minister. Sources further said 21 senior PML-N leaders have been allowed to go till the Hajj lounge at the airport.
According to a private source, Nawaz’s medical files have been handed over to the medical team that will be travelling with the former prime minister in the air ambulance.
PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said doctors had conducted a medical test in the morning.
“If Nawaz Sharif had left 15 days earlier, then his treatment would have already started by now,” Aurangzeb said. “Nawaz will be taken to US for treatment.”
We will consult the doctors in London and then take a decision, she said, adding 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.
