Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s departure to London for medical treatment caused a great setback to the narrative of the ruling PTI, as well as the process of accountability.

The federal minister took to Twitter on Saturday, saying that approaching the British government for the return of the PML-N supremo and an inquiry into medical reports were steps in the right direction.

“Those who played a role in the preparation of the fake reports, they should be turned into examples,” said the minister in the post.

نواز شریف کی واپسی کیلئے برطانوی حکومت سے رابطہ اور میڈیکل رپورٹس کی انکوائری درست فیصلے ہیں، تحریک انصاف کے بیانئے اور احتساب کے عمل کو نواز شریف کی لندن روانگی نے شدید دھچکہ دیا ، جعلی رپورٹس کی تیاری میں جن لوگوں کا کردار ہے ان کو نشان عبرت بنانا چاہئے

Earlier on Friday, Minister for Information Shibli Faraz had vowed that the government “will bring back Nawaz Sharif using all legal means that are available”.

Faraz said that the government will approach the National Accountability Bureau, which will in turn ask the foreign ministry to put in a request to the British government for the PML-N supremo’s extradition.
