  • Nawaz Sharif to attend rally on Oct 21, appear before court the next day.
  • “Consultations being held on seeking protective bail from another court.”
  • Dastagir adds that Nawaz can get nation out of difficulties even today. 


LAHORE: The legal minds of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) are holding consultations on challenges party’s supremo Nawaz Sharif faces upon his return to the country, it emerged on Tuesday.

Speaking to Geo News, former federal minister Khurram Dastagir said that Nawaz will go to attend a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan after landing at the Lahore airport on October 21 and will appear before a court the next day.

However, he added, the party is holding discussions on legal matters for the intervening period between his arrival and appearance before the respective court and consultations are being held on seeking protective bail from another court [to avoid arrest].

The former prime minister has been in London since November 2019 after he left the country for medical treatment. He was serving a jail term in corruption cases when the Lahore High Court (LHC) allowed him to seek treatment from abroad.

On Monday, Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti created a stir when he said that the PML-N supremo would be arrested upon return but backtracked his remarks following a strong response from the party.

The PML-N is preparing for a grand reception for Nawaz and plans to hold a massive rally of 1 million people in their stronghold — Lahore.

Dastagir, while responding to a question, said that the former premier had gone abroad on the permission granted to him by two courts and would enter with their approval.

“An appeal is pending before a court and Nawaz Sharif will pursue it upon return,” he said.

The former minister added that people should understand that those responsible for the corruption are those who have been doing political engineering since 2014.

“The situation was bad in 2013 but Nawaz Sharif brought the country out of the worst situation and even today, he can get the nation out of these difficulties.”

To a question, Dastagir said the 15-party coalition is responsible for the successes and failures of the 16-month government.

“PML-N’s 16-month performance is a story of pulling the country out of crises,” he added.

When asked about the reports of the formation of a new political party, he responded, “Shahid Khaqan Abbasi should have told that there is peace in Karachi today and credit goes to the PML-N.”

Referring to the spike in militancy in the country, the PML-N leader said the terrorism that is increasing today is because of Imran Khan and Arif Alvi who offered amnesty to the Taliban in 2021.

About a rumoured “secret” meeting of Shehbaz Sharif earlier this month, he said, “I do not know about the meeting in Gujranwala, I cannot deny or confirm it.”

Fazlur Rehman “The PTI founder’s release appears doubtful at this time,” JUI Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman told reporters in the Cathedral City of Wakefield. The JUI-F acknowledged the uncertainty of political transitions, nevertheless.

“I cannot comment on hearsay; I am not aware of any deal with the founder of PTI,” Fazlur Rehman said.

In response to a query about allegedly helping to get bail for Imran Khan’s sisters and wife Bushra Bibi, Fazlur Rehman emphasized that these matters were handled “independently.” He also affirmed that the public has the right to protest and that PTI’s protests shouldn’t be stopped.

He claimed that after a month of discussions, the draft of the 26th Constitutional Amendment was trimmed from 56 clauses to 22.

In his media appearance, Fazlur Rehman criticized the tendency of political party leaders to compromise, citing this as the cause of “frail democracy.” He also emphasized that a strong army is essential to a safe Pakistan and stated his support for a robust military.

The JUI chief stated that the Kashmiri people now have the key to the solution in his remarks regarding the problem. The head of JUI stated that although a meeting with PML-N President Nawaz Sharif is not scheduled, it would not be problematic if it did occur.

Fazlur Rehman declared public meetings for Sukkur at the end of November and Peshawar on December 8.

Asad Qaiser, the leader of the PTI, met with Maulana Fazalur Rehman, the leader of the JUI-F, in the federal capital earlier on November 5th to discuss possible coordinated activities against the government.

The PTI delegation had asked for the meeting on November 4th, but it was turned down, according to sources. However, following internal discussions, JUI-F decided to meet on Tuesday.

Both sides agreed to revive current parliamentary committees during the conversation, and they also contemplated starting a coordinated campaign against the government. Additionally, they talked about contacting other opposition groups.

If PTI wants to work together successfully in the future, JUI-F said they need to be more serious.

When asked about their future intentions with JUI-F, PTI decided to contact their founder, Imran Khan, and senior cadre. Both parties decided to step up their efforts once Maulana Fazlur Rehman returned from his international tour.

Trump is compared to the founder of the PTI by Rana Sanaullah, calls him a liar.

Using what he called “similarities” in their political philosophies, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah compared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan to US President-elect Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and Imran Khan are “known for spreading falsehoods, mocking others, and attacking institutions,” according to Rana Sanaullah, who made this statement during the “Khabar Muhammad Malick Ke Saath” program.

The similarities between Donald Trump and Imran Khan are numerous, including their use of deceit, mockery, and unlawful means to get their demands met. “He (Donald Trump) rallied his backing and launched an assault on the White House,” the prime minister’s special adviser on political matters stated.

When asked about the congratulations given to the US president-elect by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz, Rana Sanaullah responded that it was “just a mere diplomatic gesture and formality.”

Rana Sanaullah responded, “I do not believe the US government will do so,” when asked if the federal government will issue an order for Imran Khan’s release.

In order for these two brothers to cooperate, I believe that Imran Khan should be turned over to the United States if Donald Trump so desires. If the United States desires to exchange Imran Khan for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, the country would likely consent, according to Rana Sanaullah.
