Committee to decide about Nawaz Sharif''s stay abroad

TIL Desk/World/Lahore/ Authorities in Pakistan”s Punjab province have constituted a four-member committee to decide the request of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who sought to prolong his stay abroad for his medical treatment, claiming his condition to be “very critical”.

Sharif has written to the Punjab Home Secretary seeking extension in his stay abroad for his medical treatment (not limited to a specific period) following the end of his four-week permission for the purpose. The provincial government constituted the four-member committee headed by Law Minister Mohammad Basharat Raja to look into the matter.

The former premier had left for London over a month ago after the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government gave him a one-time permission to travel abroad for medical treatment during his bail period of four weeks without the condition of submitting indemnity bonds. The Islamabad High Court had directed Sharif to seek Punjab government”s permission for further relief if required.
