In her first ever interview to the media, the 84-year-old mother of Pakistan's ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif told VOA in Lahore, Pakistan that she wants to go to jail with her son. Sharif and his daughter are facing jail terms after being accused of corruption. They called the case against them politically motivated but returned to the country Friday to face their sentences. They were in London with Sharif's ailing wife who is on a ventilator.
Authorities in Pakistan swiftly arrested Sharif and his daughter and political heir, Maryam, shortly after the two landed in the eastern city of Lahore on a commercial flight from Britain on Friday.
