Islamabad: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Thursday dispelled the speculations that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s return to the country is part of any deal with the interim government.
“The caretaker government has ‘no soft corner’ for PML-N or any other political party…how can a caretaker government strike such a deal,” he said in an interview with digital media platform WE News.
The prime minister was responding to a question about the PML-N chief’s homecoming, who flew from London to Saudi Arabia yesterday with his announcement to land in Pakistan on October 21.
Kakar pointed out that Nawaz Sharif left the country as per the court decision “under the nose of Imran Khan’s government, and not the caretaker setup”.
However, he said that Nawaz Sharif will face some legal obstacles if he returns and participates in politics. “The answers to these legal questions lie in legal remedies,” he said.
Kakar said any leader, be it Imran Khan, Asif Ali Zardari, or Nawaz Sharif, would have to seek a legal remedy per their case scenario.
The premier said Pakistan was facing the formation of “regimental camps”, and the country had been turned into a fighting ground for political positions.
