Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Asad Umar has clarified his previous statement about Prime Minister’s (PM) decision to send Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif to London. He said his statement was taken out of context.

“Spin being given to an answer of mine regarding Nawaz Sharif exit abroad, the discussion was about whether the PM takes decisions or someone else imposes decisions. I stated that the PM takes decisions as I was asked about the Nawaz Sharif exit decision in that context,” Umar tweeted.

Further, he added that sending Nawaz to London was a “collective decision and was decided in the Cabinet”.
