ISLAMABAD, Oct 22 (INP): Senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and former federal minister Ahsan Iqbal has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan will be responsible if something happened to incarcerated former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Tuesday, he said that Nawaz Sharif’ s platelets were less than 20,000 and it could have led to internal bleeding but by the prayers of the people, it did not happen.

Sharif’s personal physician had informed about his platelets report on Monday, Ahsan Iqbal said.

The PML-N leader said that the officials threw the medical reports of the party supremo into the dust bin, adding that PM Imran would be responsible if anything happens to Sharif.

Ahsan Iqbal said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has politicized health issues of political opponents, adding that the country’s economy has ruined due to bad policies of the rulers. “The PTI government has proved to be a nine-eleven for the economy," he remarked.

He also raised concern on the condition of Maryam Nawaz adding that the government is not taking the matter seriously.

Nawaz Sharif, who was convicted on corruption charges, was rushed to hospital from the prison after recent blood tests raised doctors’ concerns, his physician late on Monday.

Doctors initially believed Sharif had contracted dengue fever, which is rampant in Pakistan, but on Tuesday the government issued a statement saying his concerningly low platelet count may have been the results of medication he was taking.
