With the flying fuel of 10 hours and two pilots, the air ambulance was equipped with oxygen cylinders, ventilators, ICU and other medical facilities, while two doctors, including Sharif’s personal physician Dr Adnan, and paramedics assisted the PML-N supremo during his travel.
Earlier on Saturday, Lahore High Court (LHC) had ordered to remove Nawaz Sharif’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL) and allowed him to travel abroad to get health treatment for four weeks.
The court had also rejected the condition of indemnity bond to be submitted by Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz, who was imprisoned after an accountability court found him guilty in the Al Azizia corruption reference, had also been granted bail by the Islamabad High Court on humanitarian grounds. He also obtained bail in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case, in which he is a suspect, from the LHC.
Official spokesperson for Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) Mariyam Aurangzaib also echoed the same sentiments and said that the PMLN Supremo, Nawaz Sharif would indeed fly out of Pakistan on Tuesday. (With additional input from INP)
