Former finance minister and Pakistan Muslim League-N stalwart Ishaq Dar on Saturday said Nawaz Sharif does not plan to leave Pakistan again.
Speaking to media, the PML-N leader, however, clarified that he would make trips abroad if need be. Dar further stated that Nawaz has an economic recovery plan ready. “If the people elect Nawaz Sharif again, He has an economic plan for the relief of the people. The last 16 months were not for economic recovery, but to save Pakistan from default,” he clarified, adding that their government prevented Pakistan from the same fate that Sri Lanka had to endure following economic collapse.
Dar continued that cases against Nawaz are now open, there was a “Panama drama” earlier and yet nothing has been proved in either cases to date. “Nawaz Sharif will be red in the cases against him. Maryam Nawaz has been acquitted,” he stated.
Elaborating on Nawaz’s departure four years ago, Dar maintained that the PML-N supremo had gone for medical treatment and records for the same exist. Lawyer Azam Nazeer Tarar told reporters that Nawaz had been granted protective bail, under which authorities could not arrest him until he himself appears before a court on Oct 24, adding that he would address a rally in Lahore upon his return.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Ishaq Dar vowed to make Pakistan an economic force once again if voted to power. The former finance minister said that Panama was just a drama. They wanted to impose one person on the country and they did it. The 24th largest economy was ruined and has been downgraded to 47th in the ranking.
