ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday excused himself from chairing a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting after doctors recommended him to rest due to the worsened backache.
The leader of the opposition in the National Assembly was scheduled to visit the Parliament and “chair a PAC meeting on law and order, however, owing to his backache and in keeping with the advice of doctors he will not be chairing the session,” a media report said.
Earlier, on Wednesday, doctors examined Shehbaz’s back and neck after he complained of severe pain and conducted physiotherapy. Following this, they recommended Shehbaz to restrict his movement and exercise.
On December 21, Shehbaz was elected as PAC Chairman unopposed. His name for the post of committee chairman was suggested by lawmaker Sheikh Rohail Asghar and confirmed by Mushahid Hussain.
