TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan’s ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif has denied any deal with the powerful establishment for his return to the country. Sharif, 67, who returned from London on Thursday to face the court cases against him, also dismissed the possibility of a technocrats government in the country.
He had gone to London last month to be with his ailing wife Kulsoom Nawaz who is battling throat cancer. He resigned as prime minister in July after the country’s Supreme Court disqualified him over undeclared income.
Three cases were registered by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on September 8 against Sharif, his children and son-in-law in the Accountability Court Islamabad, following a verdict by the Supreme Court.
In an informal chat with the media, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president yesterday said he would not go for any deal or accept a new National Reconciliation Ordinance to escape trial proceedings. Sharif said that those who had sought the NRO in 2007 might seek another one in 2017, but the PML-N was not interested in any such deal.
