Govt respects court’s decision to grant Shehbaz bail: Naeemul Haque

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and special assistant to the prime minister, Naeemul Haque on Friday said the government respects the court’s decision to grant bail to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shehbaz Sharif.

Speaking to the media here earlier today, Haque said respecting courts’ decisions made up an important pillar of democracy and expressed hope that the opposition leader would play a role in the National Assembly for the betterment of the country and its people.

“We hope Shehbaz Sharif will play his role in the [House] for the betterment of Pakistan, its people. We want personal attacks in the National Assembly to end, and for discipline to prevail,” the PTI leader said.

The Lahore High Court on Thursday approved Shehbaz’s bail petitions in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme and Ramzan Sugar Mills cases, and ordered his release.

Commenting on India blaming Pakistan for yesterday’s deadly attack on a convoy of Indian paramilitary personnel in Pulwama, Haque said it was nothing new for India to put the blame on Pakistan.

“A movement is being run in India ahead of elections [there] to pile up blame game on Pakistan. I [saw an interview] by [former IoK chief minister] Farooq Abdullah in which it was stated that the Indian government has hidden away six fact reports on the situation in Occupied Kashmir. The facts are being hidden,” Haque added.
