Lahore:
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz said that he was diagnosed with a stone in his kidney. The premier’s daughter also confirmed that he went to a private hospital in Lahore for a medical check-up.
67-year-old Sharif underwent a Computed Tomography (CT) scan following a minor stomach ache. Doctors, following the scan, confirmed presence of a stone in his left kidney.
Maryam also criticised those who were spreading rumours about her father’s illness.
“As opposed to the sensational news on media, PM is Alhamdolillah (by grace of Allah) fine. Diagnosed with small kidney stone that doesn’t need any intervention,” Maryam said in a tweet.
