Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Jawed Khan has sought a medical board’s opinion from the Punjab government on PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s health condition in light of fresh medical report submitted by him in the Lahore High Court (LHC), Express Tribune reported on Thursday.
Earlier on Tuesday, Nawaz had submitted his three-page medical report prepared by Dr Fayaz Shawl in the LHC, which advises him against undertaking any travel “without undergoing a definitive treatment in London”.
In the medical report, Dr Shawl had warned that “if he [Sharif] returns to solitary confinement, he may develop what we call the takotsubo syndrome due to stressful environment” and it could have “devastating consequences”.
The AGP wrote a letter to the Punjab government, which had formed a medical board last month to examine the medical reports of Nawaz, and requested to examine the latest medical report of Nawaz to “evaluate given all the known and reported facts and public activities of Nawaz to form an opinion, if any, on this subject”.
“Once the expert medical opinion is available, this office shall proceed as per the order of the court,” the letter stated.
In November 2019, Nawaz, who is convicted in a corruption case, had left the country after signing a court-approved undertaking, saying that he would return to the country within four weeks.
