It said that the Punjab government had formed a committee to examine the medical reports of Nawaz but according to committee, report submitted on January 17 didn’t provide any information about Nawaz's current clinical evaluation, blood reports, imaging results and any interventional procedures so far, therefore, the committee could not submit its final opinion in that regard.
