TIL Desk/World/Islamabad-Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during his four-day stay in Davos to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) was not allowed to deliver any speech following his alleged involvement in corruption, according to local media. Prime Minister Sharif failed to address any important forum because he was not allowed by the management of Davos Economic Forum to address any function.
The main reason for not allowing Sharif to deliver a speech on any forum was said to be the alleged involvement of the prime minister in massive corruption in Pakistan. He could only hold a meeting with Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe but could not hold any meeting with other head of states.
Contrastingly, former Pakistani army chief Gen. (Rtd.) Raheel Sharif addressed several forums and participated in many debates. The report said that Sharif had gone to attend the Davos Forum without any invitation from its sponsors and spent millions of rupees on his visit out of the national kitty. But he had to face disappointment when he was not allowed to address the forum. The official spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.
