In the theatre of Pakistani politics, last week’s election has unfolded as a perplexing drama, leaving citizens and global observers questioning the trajectory of the country’s democratic journey.
While Imran Khan's PTI has the most numbers, Nawaz Sharif's PML-N has the backing of Pakistani Army.
Nawaz Sharif's PML-N has won 63 and Zardari's PPP has managed 50 seats as final results are still being awaited.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday cast his vote at a polling station in Lahore, Pakistan-based ARY News reported.
In the letter written to the former premier, the Punjab Home Department directed Sharif to submit updated medical reports to the department within three days.
He ruled: “We direct the law enforcement agencies to strive their level best to apprehend the fugitive/convict and to ensure that the punishment is inflicted as per law and if found dead, his corpse be dragged to the D-Chowk, Islamabad, and be hanged for three days.”
He submitted an application seeking a one-time exemption from personal appearance for the former premier.
Earlier, Khan had said that the PET scan will give a clearer picture of the reasons behind Nawaz Sharif’s low platelet count and that once this is determined, the ailing politician will undergo a cardiac procedure.
Maryam Nawaz, the 46-year-old daughter of Pakistan's former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, was placed on the no-fly list in August 2018 in an alleged corruption case.
