ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s wife, Kulsoom Nawaz, reportedly opened her eyes for a short time on Thursday, though she has not regained consciousness completely.
Kulsoom is currently on life-support at the Harley Street Clinic, London. She suffered a cardiac arrest last month, and was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017.
Sharif’s son, Husain Nawaz, told media in London that his mother had blinked for the first time “exactly after one month.”
“The doctors have changed her ventilator settings and reduced her sedatives,” he said, adding that he asked people to pray for his mother’s health. 
Much like her brother, Maryam Nawaz also heaved a sigh of relief, though she said it was not clear if her mother had “seen or registered us.”
The ex-premier and his daughter, who are facing graft charges, had gone to London to see Kulsoom when they were convicted in the Avenfield reference. Father and daughter were sentenced to 10 and seven years in prison respectively by the accountability court in Lahore, and are due to file an appeal against the decision.
Prior to the verdict, the two had promised to return to the country after Kulsoom regained consciousness.
After their conviction, however, Maryam announced that her father would place his national responsibilities over personal ones and would return to Pakistan. Sharif and his daughter are expected to arrive in Lahore on Friday evening.
