LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and Leader of Opposition in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif will on Saturday leave for Doha on international airlines flight QR-621.
According to family sources, preparations are underway on an emergency basis for Shahbaz Sharif s departure abroad where the PML-N president will undergo a medical examination by his doctor in London on May 22.
The United Kingdom had added Pakistan, to its “red list” - a list of countries from where travellers are refused entry - to protect Britain against coronavirus variants. The PML-N president will quarantine in Qatar for about 10 days and then will go to London.
Sources further said that the opposition leader will probably return on July 3 after getting permission from his doctors.
Sources privy to the party said that the PML-N president also contacted the party leaders through video link. Shahbaz Sharif gave instructions to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Ahsan Iqbal, Rana Sanaullah and other leaders about the country s political affairs.
Earlier, talking to media, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif said that no one is willing to put their trust in Prime Minister Imran Khan because of his U-turns. He said that by the Grace of Allah, he was released with dignity and on merit. “Being in court in this scorching heat raises my spirits”, he added.
He said that all Prime Minister Imran Khan does is pin the opposition against the wall, and added, “The first time I was out on production order in the National Assembly, I called out the NAB-Niazi nexus, which time later proved. Bashir Memon confirmed my statement on the NAB-Niazi nexus.”
Shehbaz Sharif said that if the government was focused on the public and the nation, the situation would have been different.
“If Imran Khan felt the pain of the public, he would use all possible resources to acquire vaccines. We went all out to eradicate dengue during our tenure. After Fajr prayers, we used to get standing water extracted from houses and roads and sprayed anti-dengue spray in the city”, he said.
On the other hand, the Lahore High Court (LHC) has allowed Shehbaz Sharif to go abroad.
Justice Ali Baqir Najfi announced the ruling on the former Punjab chief minister’s petition seeking exclusion of his name from the blacklist. The court has allowed Shehbaz to go abroad for up to eight weeks.
