ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Thursday that Nawaz Sharif was "in the eyes of everyone and went out of the country" but the government was trying to bring back those wanted in court cases. Huh. Sheikh Rashid said this in an interview to the British media.
Regarding the return of Nawaz Sharif, the minister said that the government is trying to bring the PMLN supremo back to Pakistan under a 'deal'. "Efforts are being made to reach a settlement to bring back all the accused and convicts living in the UK," Rashid said.
"We sent Nawaz Sharif ourselves, it is our own fault," he said. He, however, acknowledged that the government had not been able to make any progress in making Ishaq Dar's return possible.
In his remarks on the rumor tussle between the establishment and the Imran Khan-led government, the minister said that the country's advantage lies in the fact that the establishment and PM Imran Khan are on the same page.
He insisted that there are no differences between PM Imran Khan and the military leadership and the former has decided to stand by the elected government. He said there may be differences between the government and the establishment, but to say that both are not on the same page would be wrong.
