Federal Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed on Sunday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan regrets that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was able to escape from the grip of the law by leaving Pakistan for London.
He said that Nawaz deceived the government and went abroad using “fake medical reports” and the prime minister has great sorrow over this.
The government stopped Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif from going abroad and later placed his name on the Exit Control List (ECL).
Sheikh Rasheed said a person whose name was included in the ECL could challenge the decision in 15 days but Shehbaz Sharif did not challenge the Interior Ministry’s decision.
Rasheed went on to say that PM Imran Khan was lucky to have such an “incompetent” and “sluggish” Opposition.
He further added that the entire Jahangir Tareen group will support the upcoming budget.
