LAHORE: Several leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) visited imprisoned former prime minister Nawaz Sharif at Kot Lakhpat Jail here on Thursday.

According to ARY News, party leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, former president Mamnoon Hussain, Khawaja Asif, Ayaz Sadiq, Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed, Ahsan Iqbal, Javed Hashmi, Mariam Aurangzaib and others arrived at the prison to meet Nawaz Sharif on the meeting day.

A large number of party workers were also gathered in frosty weather outside the jail and chanting slogans in support of their jailed leader.

The prison officials at the gate of Kot Lakhpat Jail were allowing admission to each visitor after security clearance and watching their names in visitors list.

All visitors walked to the barrack after security clearance but former information minister Mariam Aurangzaib travelled in a rickshaw to the barrack.

Nawaz Sharif has challenged his conviction in a petition in Islamabad High Court as well as requested for bail in Al-Azizia Steel Mills case.

Sharif has pleaded that his sentence be suspended until the final verdict in his appeal challenging the case is announced.

The former PM is currently incarcerated at the Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore serving his seven-year sentence in the Al Azizia case.

The accountability court judge Muhammad Arshad Malik on Dec 24 sentenced Sharif to seven years in prison in the Al-Azizia accountability reference.
