LAHORE -- Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz on Monday moved yet another plea in the Lahore High Court seeking permission to travel abroad to tend to her ailing father, former premier Nawaz Sharif undergoing treatment in London.

Citing her father's latest medical reports that have also been attached to the application, Maryam Nawaz stated that the ex-premier's health condition is deteriorating with each passing day.

No one knows the medical history of her father better than her, she said, pleading that she be allowed to travel abroad.
