GENEVA, Jan 06 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif has successfully undergone throat surgery in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday.

Minister for Information and broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb had said that the PML-N senior vice president departed for Geneva from London for her surgery.

“She will return to Pakistan in the 3rd week of January to assume her new responsibilities as Chief Organizer,” the minister added.

PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif is expected to visit his heart surgeon as he is also based in Geneva, sources had told a private TV channel.
