FAISALABAD, January 16: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill on Sunday claimed that Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif has “asked for a deal for four people”.
Addressing a media conference in the city, Gill said to the Sharifs: “However much of a deal and leeway you had to be provided, you have been.” Further addressing the Sharifs, he said that it is “not as if you are out on a shopping trip, that you are seeking a deal”.
Gill said that the Sharif family will never be given a deal. “You have Imran Khan standing in your way,” he said. “He did not let go of them when he was in the Opposition, how will he let go of them now?” he added.
Speaking of the particulars of the so-called “deal”, Gill claimed that it is sought for Nawaz, “his daughter”, Shahbaz, and “his son”. He went on to claim that the request is for the latter three individuals to be allowed to leave the country, whereas “Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will stay”.
“We won’t even give you a boiled potato, and here you are asking for a chicken burger deal,” he remarked, adding: “The Sharif family is asking for a burger deal which also includes a toy.”-TLTP
