He took to Twitter, and stated that it was fourth day of his release and still he was not admitted to a hospital.
Furthermore, he suggested a 'solution' as a way out for Sharif through a plea bargain - a provision which is contained within Section 25 in the NAB Ordinance, 1999. "You were honoured by the general public thrice; return their [people] money," he said.
