The funeral prayers of Begum Shamim Akhtar, mother of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, were offered on Friday at the Regent’s Park mosque in London where only close family members, friends and colleagues were present because of the coronavirus pandemic, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

As per the coronavirus guidelines, only 30 people could attend the Namaz-i-Janaza.
