LAHORE: Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid says the government allowed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad for treatment on humanitarian grounds.
In a statement on Sunday, she slammed the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) saying the opposition party has made quite a fuss about the party leader’s health.
“We diagnosed Nawaz Sharif’s ailments and began his treatment but he had the intention of going abroad from the start.”
