Please write it on the walls of Lahore. Doctors will recommend that MNS cannot be treated in Pakistan and should be evacuated to London for further medical treatment.

There is nothing seriously wrong with Nawaz Sharif, all previous tests carried out show minior alignments which are normally associated with old age and rich diet. And can be treated in Pakistan without any complications. So why VVIP treatment for convicted NS? Why double standards? Don't let NS and his family blackmail government, recover looted money.

@Ahsan Gul,..... I completely agree with you. Only in Pakistan we pay daily attention to corrupt despite them being convicted and Nawaz, Zardari's families are the perfect example. Media gives them free publicity even though it is not in public nor in Pakistan’s interest. Freedom of speech is one thing but even that should have its limit.

Simply, Nawaz Sharif is blackmailing government through his minor illness that is normally associated with old age and rich diet. There is nothing seriously wrong with him - don't let him get away without recovering all looted money. Such corrupt politicians are the cause of our present financial crisis. (Gharib Awam ki Awaz).

They will admit him in the hospital at the expiry of his bail to get a further extension. or some other trick to keep him out of Jail. He is a convict, should be treated like a convict.
