Nawaz Sharif has decided to spend rest of his life in London: Sheikh Rasheed

Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed on Monday claimed that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has decided to spend the rest of his life in London.

Addressing a presser in Karachi, Sheikh Rasheed said Nawaz Sharif should have returned to the country after court orders.”He has chocked his politics by himself.”

The minister questioned former prime minister to reveal how many donations he received from Osama Bin Laden and who was behind character assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

Opposition parties can achieve nothing through their APC, Sheikh Rasheed said and added that Prime Minister Imran Khan has strong nerves and the government and Pakistan Army are on the same page.

Holding money launderers responsible for the increasing inflation in the country, he claimed that whoever looted the national exchequer will go in jail till December 31.

Sheikh Rasheed said that PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto can play a positive role in Pakistan’s politics.

Last week, Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed had said that both, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari held one-on-one meetings with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

“Fazlur Rehman had met the army chief in a one-on-one meeting,” he had said and further challenged that he was ready to divulge details of a one-on-one meeting between the two in Lahore if Maulana continues to deny his meeting.

Money laundering, assets case: Shehbaz captured after LHC excuses bail request

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested on Monday PML-N President and Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif in a money-laundering and assets beyond means case.

A team of the national graft buster arrested him from the Lahore High Court (LHC) after it dismissed his plea for extension in his interim bail in the case. He was escorted to the NAB Lahore headquarters amid tight security.

A large number of PML-N supporters were present on the court premises to show solidarity with their party leader and chanted slogans against the NAB and the government after his arrest.

The LHC bench rejected his bail petition after hearing arguments of the NAB prosecutor and the PML-N president’s lawyer Azam Nazir Tarar at length. Earlier today, Shehbaz Sharif arrived at the LHC as it resumed hearing the case.

Speaking to media after Shehbaz’s arrest, party spokesperson Marriyam Aurangzeb blasted Prime Minister Imran Khan and the bureau and alleged the PML-N leader was arrested on the premier’s behest.

Reacting to the arrest, Maryam Nawaz tweeted: “Make no mistake. Shehbaz Sharif has been arrested ONLY because he REFUSED to play in the hands of those who wanted to use him against his brother. He preferred standing behind prison bars than to stand against his brother. Shahbaz Sharif, aap ko SALAM!”

On September 24, the LHC had extended his interim bail till Monday in the money-laundering case.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had last month filed the Rs7 billion money laundering and assets beyond means reference against Shehbaz and his family members, including his wife Nusrat Shehbaz, sons – Hamza Shehbaz and Salman Shehbaz – and two daughters, Rabia Imran and Javeria Ali.
