KARACHI, December 26: Taking a dig at PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has offered to pay for his air ticket and also issue him a visa if the former prime minister was willing to return to the country.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi on Sunday, Rashid said Nawaz, who has been living in London since 2019, went abroad on the pretext of medical treatment but “had not consulted any doctor since he is healthy”. His statement comes after PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq’s prediction that the country’s political arena will soon witness a “major event” which has sent many in a tizzy, fuelling speculations as to what was implied in the politician’s cryptic statement.
The prediction followed right after Ayaz’s speech at an event, wherein he made the announcement that Sharif was returning to Pakistan soon.
“If Nawaz Sharif is returning, I offer him a ticket out of my own pocket,” the interior minister remarked in today’s presser. – DNA
