ISLAMABAD, Jan 03 (INP): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Maryam Nawaz tweeted on Thursday that she saw former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in high spirits in her today’s visit to the Kothlakhpat Jail.

An accountability court on December 24 had sentenced Nawaz to seven years in prison in Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference while acquitting him in the Flagship Investment reference. He was arrested from the courtroom shortly afterward.
