LAHORE: PML-N President and Leader of the Opposition in the NationalAssembly Shahbaz Sharif on Monday complained to an accountability courtthat National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials were treating him in an”inhumane and humiliating” manner in jail.

While giving his statement to the accountability court, Shahbaz said heknew he was in custody on the court’s orders, but it was his basic rightthat he receive medical treatment for his back pain, which he has beensuffering from since 25 years.

The PML-N leader told the court that he used to ask for assistance inchanging the position of his chair for prayers, but on October 1 and 2, hewas refused assistance when he sought help from jail officials.

Shahbaz also alleged that instead of being served food on a table, as wasusual till recently, his food is now being placed on the floor.

“This is being deliberately so that I have to bend to pick it up. It ishappening at the behest of Imran Khan and Shehzad Akbar,” Shahbaz alleged.
