ISLAMABAD, January 11: The government will file a petition in the Lahore High Court against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif for giving a false undertaking pertaining to bringing party’s supremo Nawaz Sharif back to the country after completion of his medical treatment abroad. While giving briefing to media after the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said that Nawaz fled the country after staging a drama of his illness and Shehbaz was involved in this fraud too by becoming his guarantor. The minister expressed his amazement that after a
passage of 17 months, the PML-N supremo still had not conducted his medical treatment. He asked Shehbaz that being a guarantor, he should bring his brother back. He said that while sitting abroad, Nawaz was making fun of the country. He demanded that Shehbaz be disqualified for giving a false undertaking. He said Nawaz Sharif has been living in London for 17 months, but he has not taken any treatment. He said the Punjab Government has rejected all the medical reports submitted by the Sharif family. He said Pakistan’s embassy in London also contacted the Sharif family twice, but it did not cooperate. Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said Shahbaz Sharif had submitted an affidavit guaranteeing return of his elder brother, who neither got any treatment nor returned to Pakistan. NNI
