Meanwhile, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb has denied such reports.

He said that the PML-N leader had never denied from undergoing an angiography.

On Jan 22, Sharif was brought to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) from Kot Lakhpat jail for a medical examination amid tight security. Later he was shifted to Services Hospital and then Jinnah Hospital, Lahore.

The medical board had suggested angiography for Nawaz Sharif.
