F.P. Report

LONDON: President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Leader of Opposition Shehbaz Sharif has said that attempts to hinder Nawaz Sharif’s treatment are equivalent to his murder.

Shehbaz Sharif condemned government’s letter to UK for deportation of PML-N supremo and said that government had no authority to write such a letter.

He termed government’s letter as immoral and irrational act and said that such actions reveal government’s criminal and malicious intensions.

Former Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Islamabad High Court granted an eight-week bail to Nawaz Sharif and directed to approach government for extension. However, court also ruled that it can be approached against any act of government. He also claimed that government’s action is contempt of court.

The Opposition leader said that Punjab Health Minister and doctors of government medical board confirmed that Nawaz Sharif should be treated abroad.

He also claimed that Nawaz Sharif is regularly fulfilling all the requirements set by the court for this bail. He also said that such actions by corrupt and incompetent government are making mockery of the country.

Shehbaz Sharif warned the authorities that hindering Nawaz’s treatment is equivalent to his murder. He added that failed government is playing with health of the ex-PM and government’s political hostility is illegal.

The president of the PML-N said that in light of the law and court’s order, Nawaz Sharif has basic human right to live and contradicting statements of government ministers on his brother s health are proof of government’s ill intentions.
