Outside the jail, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) activists had gathered to welcome Maryam and Capt. (retd.) Safdar.
The activists had also brought with them a black goat which they sacrificed right outside the jail to ward off ‘evil from their leader’.
Party leaders tried to enter the jail to meet with the former prime minister, but authorities barred them from entering, saying only the people authorised by Sharif would be allowed to meet him.
