ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah has advised former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday to appear before the courts for complete accountability, adding that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader always advised others to respect the judiciary.
Talking to a private news channel inside his chamber, he said that the former prime minister is playing a dangerous game.
Shah said that despite the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) summons, Nawaz Sharif and his family members did not present themselves before the authorities.
The court can order the arrest of the Sharif family through the army, claimed Shah.
While responding to a question, Shah said that if there is a demand to make the Dawn Leaks report public then the Model Town incident report should be made public as well.
“Nisar was praising himself like an Australian parrot,” said Shah in an apparent jibe aimed at the former interior minister Nisar Ali Khan’s press conference on Sunday.
Nisar in his press conference said that he refused to be part of the new cabinet over “difference of opinion” reiterating, however, that he will continue being a member of PML-N.
Meanwhile, the NAB has decided to send another notice to the Sharifs before filing a case in the Supreme Court that is likely to issue arrest warrants for the family members, sources said.
Earlier, the bureau had decided to not to send further notices to members of the Sharif family.
The bureau is pursuing several corruption references against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s family, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and others in light of the Supreme Court’s July 28 judgment in the Panama Papers case.
