Nawaz, Maryam postpone return

19 Jun, 2018

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz may not return home for the time being following deteriorating health condition of ailing Kulsoom Nawaz, who is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in London. The sources told that the father-daughter duo were supposed to be here after Eid to appear before an accountability court, seized with graft cases against Sharif family.
Kulsoom Nawaz is in critical condition after she suffered a cardiac arrest late on Thursday and was admitted to ICU in London's Harley Street Clinic and placed on ventilator. Nawaz Sharif, along with his daughter Maryam Nawaz, travelled to London on the same day.
Sharif was expected to return home on Monday along with her daughter but the doctors in London have asked Sharif to stay with his wife after assessing her poor health condition. She has reportedly not regained consciousness since cardiac arrest.
Begum Kulsoom was diagnosed with lymphoma (throat) cancer in August 2017. She has undergone several sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Initially, she showed signs of improvement but as of late, her condition has deteriorated.
Her sons - Hassan and Hussain - and daughter Asma have remained with her throughout her treatment in UK while Nawaz and Maryam could only visit her couple of times.
