ISLAMABAD: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Saturday accused Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz of politicising illness of Nawaz Sharif to blackmail the government.
In reaction to PML-N leadership’s criticism of the government, particularly with regards to ailment of Nawaz Sharif, PTI Central Information Secretary Omar Sarfraz Cheema said that Sharif family had put all focus on politicising ailment of Nawaz Sharif. He dismissed the allegations calling it baseless and condemnable. “It doesn’t seem as per their words that Sharif family is serious about the treatment of Nawaz Sharif”, he went on to charge. He reiterated that Nawaz Sharif was given facilities to continue treatment of his own choice despite millions in this country cannot avail the facility.
Continuing his criticism against Sharifs, he said that instead of showing seriousness, their efforts were aimed at blackmailing the government.
“Shahbaz Sharif should tell his brother to act with responsibility by not allowing doctors to treat him in hospital Nawaz Sharif is putting pressure on courts so he can run away,” he remarked.
Nawaz Sharif, he added, had been offered best health facilities and his surgery could easily be done in Pakistan by experienced doctors available. He clarified that the authorities had also allowed Nawaz Sharif to call foreign physicians in Pakistan, if he wished so.
