Nawaz Sharif Struck Secret Deal In London, Won’t Return To Pakistan

Former Pakistan Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Friday claimed that former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will not be returning to the country as part of a secret deal struck in London, local media reported.

He made this statement after several PML-N leaders said that Nawaz Sharif will be arriving “soon” in the country but none of them gave any specific date, Geo News reported citing The News.

Former Interior Minister said that the closure of markets and shops at 7 pm would be an “economic death knell” for shopkeepers, for which the current “imported” government would be responsible.

Ahmed also pointed out that the Pakistani rupee had depreciated to 210 to a dollar while it was trading at 220 to a dollar in Hawala. He warned that the finance minister was about to give “another shot” of a price hike to the nation, reported Geo News.

Former Interior Minister further said in such a situation, former Prime Minister Imran Khan is the “only popular leader” in the country, while the one-dozen political parties in the ruling coalition have fallen out of public favor.

“Only Imran Khan has touched the hearts and minds of the people,” he said.

“The current imported government is another name for vested interests. This is a conglomerate of thieves,” Ahmed added.
