Islamabad: Former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif's condition continues to be serious and his son has alleged that his father is being poisoned in jail.
Nawaz Sharif is currently lodged in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail on corruption charges.
According to the reports, Hussain Nawaz, son of Nawaz Sharif, has alleged that reduction in platelets of his father might be the result of some kind of poisoning.
He tweeted, "Thrombocytopenia as manifestation of poisoning. If anything happens to Nawaz Sharif, you know who is responsible for this."
According to the medical tests carried out on Tuesday, Nawaz Sharif's platelet count had dropped from 16,000 to a critical level of 2,000 when he was brought to hospital late on Monday night prompting the medical board members to go for immediate transfusion of the platelets to save his life.
On Tuesday, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President and Sharif's brother, Shahbaz Sharif met him at the hospital.
Shahbaz later tweeted: "I visited my brother Nawaz Sharif in hospital earlier today. I am gravely concerned and worried about his fast deteriorating health condition. The government must shun its apathy and attend to his serious health issues. I appeal to the nation to pray for Mian sahib."
