LAHORE -UNS : As less than a week is left in PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif’s return from a self-imposed four-year exile, senior PPP leaders have started questioning the ‘understanding’ they claim he has reached with the quarters concerned to facilitate his ‘hassle-free’ return.
After National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf’s mentioning of “some understanding between the Sharifs and the quarters concerned” regarding the former premier’s return on Oct 21, another senior PPP leader from Punjab has lodged protest over plans to give ‘official protocol’ to a convict upon his arrival, saying he must complete his jail term before thinking of contesting the election.
“There has been no justification to give official protocol to convict Nawaz Sharif on his return to Pakistan. If he gets clean chit from courts, then this facility should also be given to others,” PPP’s Punjab general secretary Hasan Murtaza told a press conference on Saturday.
