LAHORE: Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has been in London for medical treatment, is suffering from severe kidney pain, her daughter Maryam Nawaz informed on Tuesday.
On a social media website Twitter, Maryam said Nawaz could not attend today’s meeting of the opposition’s anti-government alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), as he was getting treatment for his kidney ailment.
“MNS could not participate in the PDM meeting today because of severe kidney pain that he is being treated for, therefore I am representing him. Would request for prayers,” she added.

Nawaz, who has been handed a seven-year jail term on corruption charges, was allowed to fly to London late last year for treatment of his undiagnosed illness that remains a mystery to this day.
He had been declared a proclaimed offender by the court following his refusal to return to Pakistan to serve out his sentence.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Maryam held a telephonic conversation and decided to hold a meeting to discuss the matter of alleged rigging in the general election in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Both leaders have agreed to devise a joint strategy against the PTI-led government in the forthcoming meeting.
