Attorney-General of Pakistan (AGP) Barrister Khalid Javed Khan has said that there is no evidence to support that Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports are fake.
Speaking on Geo News show ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’, the AGP Javed said they do not want to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Shehbaz Sharif over the subject of Nawaz Sharif’s return. Instead, he said, they want the situation to be settled amicably.
AGP Khalid Javed said that Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid too said that the medical reports of Nawaz Sharif were not fake.
AGP said that he is waiting for a decision made by the medical board constituted to further comment on the reports. Until they don’t submit an authentic and comprehensive report, he will wait.
He also said that he has requested Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif to cooperate and submit Nawaz’s recent medical reports so that the due proceedings can happen. He also said that the medical board will then examine Nawaz’s reports once again and will plan out further accordingly.
Earlier this week, the AGP had written a letter to the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif to bring back his brother Nawaz Sharif to Pakistan.
The AGP had instructed Shehbaz to submit Nawaz’s medical reports within the next 10 days. In case he fails to do so, contempt of court petition will be filed against Shahbaz, he had said.
Federal Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Asad Umar had previously revealed that it was “100 per cent Imran Khan’s decision” to send the former PM to London for his medical treatment. “This was first discussed in a cabinet meeting,” he said, adding that the decision was entirely made by the prime minister and the premier did not say that the decision was not his.
