     Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is expected to leave for London on Thursday after it emerged that his wife Kulsoom Nawaz was re-admitted to the hospital upon worsening of her condition.

    The medical condition of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz deteriorated on Tuesday evening after which she was readmitted to the hospital. Sources informed that Kulsoom was admitted to the emergency unit of Princess Grace Hospital in London.

    Nawaz returned to the country on Monday after spending over three weeks in London to spend time with his wife, Kulsoom, who is undergoing treatment for lymphoma.

    A day after his return, the former premier appeared before the accountability court which is hearing three corruption references against him and his family.

    The court has set October 2 as the date of the next hearing, when it will indict the ousted prime minister.

    After his court appearance, Nawaz returned to the Punjab House, where he met several political leaders and party officials, including Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
