Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President has claimed that she was fed ‘rat-contaminated food’ during her stay in Punjab’s Kot Lakhpat Jail.
In a recent talk with the journalists, Maryam Nawaz complained of the medication she was given in the prison, saying it was “not fit for use at all”.
“I was forced to take fungus-infected medicines in prison,” she claimed.
Earlier, Maryam had also alleged the installation of cameras in her jail cell.
Detailing about her grandmother, Begum Shamim’s death, who had passed away aged 89, the PML-N leader said she had spoken to her over video call two or three days before her death. “My grandmother’s memory had become weak,” she said.
“The last time I talked to my grandmother, she was asking if I had been released from jail; my grandmother thought I was still in prison,” Maryam said. She was released from jail in November 2019.
