Interim govt has no role in Nawaz’s return: Solangi

KARACHI: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had flown abroad after getting permission from the court and the government, not due to jailbreak, said Murtaza Solangi – the caretaker information minister – who added that he (Nawaz) would be treated according to law and constitution on his return to Pakistan. 

The minister remarked some people were confused on the issue of elections and spreading confusion was a business for some others. The caretaker government had no confusion on the issue of elections, he added

Solangi, who visited the Karachi Press Club, told media persons on Saturday that Nawaz was a three-time prime minister and he had no knowledge of which court the PML-N supremo would move after his return. 

Replying to various questions on the subject, the caretaker information minister said he didn’t want to speculate as it was Nawaz who would have to answer such queries.
