Nehal Hashmi shifted to cardiology center after chest pain

RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Former leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Nehal Hashmi on Friday has been admitted to Rawalpindi Cardiology Center from Adiala Jail after he felt chest pain.
The jail officials took him to the hospital when he complained of severe pain in heart.
Earlier on Thursday, Supreme Court (SC) had rejected unconditional apology of Nehal Hashmi and sentenced him to one month in prison over contempt of court case against him.
A three-member bench headed by Justice Asif Khosa had also disqualified the accused for five years, asking him to submit Rs50,000 fine. The decision was later opposed by Justice Dost Mohammad.

On May 28, Hashmi triggered a political storm by threatening the members of the joint investigation team (JIT) and Supreme Court judges of “dire consequences” after their retirement for probing Sharif family in connection with Panama Papers case.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif sought his resignation from Senate seat and suspended his party membership.
Hashmi’s threatening speech drew instant reaction from the Supreme Court, with Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar taking suo motu notice and summoning the PML-N leader to appear in person before the implementation bench supervising the work of the Panama JIT.
