Pakistan's former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who is serving a seven-year imprisonment in a Lahore jail, was rushed to a hospital on Tuesday after he complained of heart related complications. Sharif, 69, was taken to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore from Kot Lakhpat Jail in high security.

Wearing an off-white shalwar qameez and blue waistcoat, Sharif chose not to respond the media queries on his arrival at the hospital. Doctors conducted his various tests including TROP-I, Echocardiography and Stress Thallium Scan. "My father is not well. I wanted to go to the PIC but my father stopped me to come because of security issues," Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz said. -- PTI
