ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said that the Punjab government’s decision not to extend former premier Nawaz Sharif’s bail was a positive step.
In a tweet, Fawad Chaudhry praised Punjab government’s decision by saying that the next step would be determining whether his medical reports on which the bail was granted as a part of scam or not.
He demanded an inquiry against Nawaz Sharif related to his medical reports.
Earlier on Tuesday, Chaudhry demanded to probe why Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports were not being sent from the United Kingdom.
Chaudhry questioned why Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports were not being sent from the UK where he was getting treatment. It seemed that there was a contract between the medical reports of Lahore and London, he added.
The federal minister further said that that the Punjab government should probe the health department regarding Nawaz’s medical reports.
Moreover, Chaudhry requested the National Assembly to replace Shehbaz Sharif as the opposition leader. He also wrote a letter to the Speaker NA Asad Qaiser to replace the opposition leader from his designation as Shehbaz Sharif had not been attending any parliamentary sessions since November last year.
He further said that either Shehbaz Sharif should be asked the exact date of his arrival or he should be replaced with immediate effect as he informed earlier he would arrive in February then later he extended his arrival to March.
