Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain advised the government to focus on issues related to public importance rather than wasting its energy on bringing back PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif from London, The Express Tribune reported on Thursday.
“This [bring back Sharif] is a futile exercise,” the former prime minister and veteran politician said in a statement.
The PML-N supremo has been living in London in self-exile ever since he was allowed by a court to leave the country for medical treatment on a four-week bail. Though he has repeatedly pledged to come back, he never indicated when he planned to return.
Hussain said, “Come what may, Sharif will never return to the country to stand trial in court.”
He also said that the government has spent more money on pursuing cases against him in courts than the total amount he embezzled.

“It would have been a different scenario if his party workers had insisted him to come,” he said, adding that “it is ridiculous that PTI’s members talk about his return.”
The PML-Q leader said that if the government does not work on important issues, then the country will be at stake as this is the “year of deliverance”.
“If any leader or party hands out a positive plan to decrease inflation, I will ask my members to listen to them,” he added.
He also said that the leaders nowadays pull each other’s leg and they will see the outcome of their actions soon.
