LAST November your newspaper reported that the medical team examining Nawaz Sharif had found that ‘complete genetic tests’ could be done in Pakistan but were necessary to determine the nature of his ailment.

Therefore, Nawaz Sharif requested that he be allowed to go abroad for medical tests.

Now that he is abroad on this medical ground, we expect these genetic tests must have been done immediately after he went abroad.

We, however, do not know this crucial information. Will someone please now throw some light on this important piece of information?
