Plea in IHC to probe Nawaz’s medical reports

An application on Tuesday was filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking the constitution of a commission to identify those who were responsible for creating “fake” medical reports of former premier Nawaz Sharif.

The plea was filed by a citizen named Zaman Mughal through his counsel Rana Ahmed Raza Advocate.

It nominated Nawaz Sharif, his brother Shehbaz Sharif, interior and health secretaries, Punjab health secretary, NAB chairman, Punjab IG and Lahore CCPO as respondents.

The plea adopted the stance that instead of undergoing medical treatment in London, Sharif was maligning the state and its institutions.

It stated that the purpose of PML-N supremo’s speeches was to isolate Pakistan in the world, retain the country in the FATF grey list and divert the attention of global bodies from the human rights violations in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

It deplored the use of language against senior military officials of the country by Sharif.

The petitioner stated that according to the government representatives, the PML-N chief had submitted “fake” medical reports.

He requested the court to constitute a commission to identify those who were responsible for creating fake medical reports of Sharif.

Nawaz Sharif had left for London in November 2019 after the Lahore High Court granted him a four-week permission to go abroad for his treatment.

He had submitted an undertaking to the court citing his record of facing the law and justice that he would return within four weeks or as soon as he was declared healthy and fit to travel by doctors.
