, on Monday warned that she would go on a hunger strike if the government doesn't allow her father homemade meals.

"The fake government has imposed restrictions on homemade meals for Nawaz Sharif. The staff who took his food has been waiting outside the jail for the last five hours," she said via a tweet.

"Mian sahab has refused to eat prison food. If they [the government] do not take back this restriction in the next 24 hours, then I will contact the court."

"If I don't get help from the court, then I will sit outside Kot Lakhpat jail. Even if I have to go on a hunger strike, I will do it," she warned in another tweet.

"I don't trust these oppressors; they can mix anything in Mian sahab's food," she said, adding her warning should not be considered a mere threat and that she would go through with it.

Later in the day, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif also took to Twitter to condemn the restriction on homemade food for Nawaz Sharif.

He said Mian Nawaz Sharif is a heart patient and depriving him of homemade food is a grave oppression. He demanded the government to immediately ensure the provision of home-cooked meals to Nawaz.

#1 Irony hits hard. They did the same things to Zardari and his family. And they were actually innocent. The last liberal leaders of the 'Stain. If you're not riding the corruption tiger in this shithole, you're effed. She should forget this bastard and make off to London or the UAE with the $16M she still has left.

#3 And what's this urgency for homemade food ? Prison food is any day better for a heart patient than Pakistani homemade food. What do they want to do, kill him with oily curry and butter-naans ?
