Shehbaz would face disqualification if Nawaz does not return: Fawad Chaudhry
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that Shehbaz Sharif is the guarantor of Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan, the PML-N president will face disqualification if he does not fulfill his responsibility.
Talking exclusively on Dunya News program ‘Nuqta-e-Nazar’, the Federal Minister for Science and Technology said that if the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was actually ill, he would have submitted his medical reports to the government, but in reality, the Embassy has not been given access to Nawaz.
Continuing, he said that Nawaz Sharif’s escape from the country is not the fault of doctors, but his medical reports as the doctors based their decision on the observations made by said reports.
Fawad Chaudhry said that they have nothing personal against Nawaz Sharif but he has been convicted in the Azizia steel mills case. He will have to bear his punishment or take the plea bargain route, he added.
The Minister said the first letter from the federal government to the British government regarding Nawaz was written in March but progress has been sluggish on account of the coronavirus.
He also said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed a full inquiry into the medical reports by Punjab government and the investigation will determine which officials were involved. Anyone involved in tampering with the reports will be arrested, he added.
