ISLAMABAD, May 2: Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Thursday said changes in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) were indicative of Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif not returning to Pakistan.
The PML-N has nominated Rana Tanveer Hussain to be Shehbaz Sharif’s replacement as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman and Khawaja Asif as the parliamentary party leader.
“If he wanted to return from London he would not even appoint someone as a chowkidar (guard) outside his home….They [Sharif’s] divide these positions within the family. If they have started appointing people outside the family to these positions it indicates this is the first step towards an NRO,” Firdous Ashiq Awan said while talking to a private TV channel. Firdous Ashiq Awan when asked if an NRO had been given, said the Sharif’s need to answer questions about their alleged corruption in court.
The special assistant on information further said that Shehbaz Sharif had left for London for medical treatment; however, he had failed to provide any information to the public related to his illness.
“We knew from the beginning he [Shebaz] was doing this to fool people. He knew he would not come back.”-Sabah
