Jailed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif today met his daughter Maryam Nawaz for the first time since the two were arrested last week after their conviction in the Avenfield properties case, his party said.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Senator Pervaiz Rasheed said he and other party leaders met the Sharif family in jail today.
Sharif, 68, along with his daughter Maryam, 44 and son-in-law Capt (retd.) Muhammad Safdar are serving jail terms of 10-years, 7 years and one year respectively in Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, after an accountability court convicted them on July 6 over the family's ownership of four luxury flats in London.
Talking to reporters outside the Adiala jail, Rasheed said that today is the first time the father-daughter duo met - a fact which he termed was against jail norms, Geo TV reported.
Sharing a message from the Sharif family, the senator said no jail sentence can stop them from achieving their goal and asked the people to vote for their party on July 25.
