Punjab Cabinet has rejected the application of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for extension in bail on medical grounds.
Briefing the media persons in Lahore on Tuesday, the provincial law minister Raja Basharat said the extension in bail period cannot be granted on medical and legal grounds.
He said the recommendation of the Punjab cabinet will be forwarded to the federal cabinet.
Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat while addressing a press conference here in Lahore along with Punjab Information Minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan and Provincial health minister Yasmeen Rashid has announced not to accept Nawaz’s plea for extension in bail.
Basharat said that Nawaz has been given 16 weeks to seek treatment in London, yet he was never admitted in a hospital.
The provincial government has twice deemed incomplete the medical reports submitted by Nawaz’s team earlier and sought new reports.
“Till today Nawaz has not been admitted to any hospital in London,” said the provincial law minister and added that the provincial cabinet has decided to not extend bail as there is no further legal or medical basis due to lack of “concrete proof”.
Nawaz Sharif’s personal physician Dr Adnan in a meeting held between PML-N representatives and govt committee had sought two-week time for the medical procedure of Nawaz Sharif at London hospital.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s personal physician Dr Adnan Khan on Monday dismissed reports that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader is undergoing a medical procedure at a London hospital.
“Since no new reports were sent, the Punjab cabinet reached a decision on them and decided not to extend the bail,” Basharat said.
He added, “Rana Sanaullah came on the media a few days ago and said Nawaz would undergo a cardiac procedure on February 24, however, when we asked Dr Adnan, he refused to share a specific date and said the operation would be lined up in the next two to three weeks.”
As you can see no cardiac surgery has been done, he noted.
