Former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif emotionally described how he received the news of his mother and wife's deaths while in prison during a rally in Lahore. Sharif, who recently returned to Pakistan after four years of self-imposed exile in the UK, expressed his gratitude for the support of his party followers. He recounted how he was unable to say a final goodbye to his mother, father, and wife, and shared his frustration at not being allowed to speak with his wife before her death.
