Umar Atta Bandial’s resignation

Maryam Nawaz, Senior Vice President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), claimed that his father Nawaz Sharif was poisoned while serving a prison sentence for corruption.

She made the revelations during an interview, adding that the former three-time prime minister’s platelet count had dropped to an alarming level as a result of the poisoning attempt.

When the PML-N supremo was fighting for his life, it had made some people worried and they allowed Nawaz Sharif to go abroad for treatment, she claimed, adding: “Time will reveal that Imran Khan was also part of this”.

Nawaz Sharif was sentenced to seven years in prison by an accountability court in 2018. When he returned to the country from London that year, he was arrested and transferred to Adiala jail. There Nawaz Sharif was poisoned, according to a shocking revelation by his daughter Maryam Nawaz.
