They further said that announcement of her funeral prayers would be made later while consultations were underway whether Abid, who is currently staying in the UK along with the former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, should return to attend his wife’s funeral.

The deceased had also undergone an angiography test at Lahore’s Ittefaq Hospital a couple of days ago.
