Pakistan
Nawaz to return before elections, says Abbasi
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said on Wednesday he always stood against the arrest of the political leaders.
Speaking to the media, Mr Abbasi expressed his views in connection with the potential arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, saying the court issued arrest warrants for the latter as he did not appear before the court.
He suggested the deposed premier to surrender himself, as he would get the bail. The government did not issue arrest warrants for Mr Khan, but the court did.
In connection with the return of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Mr Abbasi said he was not aware of the latter’s return. However, Mr Sharif will be returned to the country ahead of the elections, he added.
Clearing the air over taking gifts from Toshakhana, Mr Abbasi said, "I have taken the Toshakhana gifts as per the law. I have not earned any profit from these gifts."
