Maryam shares...

LAHORE -- To mark the World Father`s Day on Sunday (June 21) Maryam Nawaz Sharif shared her father`s brief letter written to her while both of them were serving jail term in corruption cases last year.

`Every day is #FathersDay for me but today there is no greater tribute than this brief letter. That even while going [to face] one revenge to another, the father is not concerned about his person, but about the daughter lying in the other dark prison cell. One life is too little to sacrifice for such a father!` she said in a tweet.

The brief handwritten letter in Urdu language penned on Oct 11, 2019, shared in the tweet, reads: `Dear daughter Maryam, Assalamo-Alaikum. [The] NAB men are tak-ing me away [from Kot Lakhpat Jail to National Accountability Bureau`s ofhces in Lahore] in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case today. I pray to Allah that He may create relief for us all. Take care of yourself and don`t worry. Allah may grant His mercy in abundance. My prayers are with you. Allah Hafiz. Father.

The former prime minister is in London since November 2019 as the Lahore High Court granted him bail for treatment of his complicated heart problem after more than one medical boards set up by the government advised his treatment abroad asnolocalhospitalshadtherequired facilities.

The ruling PTI didn`t challenge the LHC orders before the Supreme Court, though its leaders would publicly doubt the test reports on the basis of which the medical board advised Mr Sharif`s treatmentabroad.

Maryam Nawaz was also bailed out and she saw her father off to London on a special air ambulance.

But she was not allowed to leave...
