Forced to allow Nawaz Sharif to go abroad for treatment on the advice of the government’s own medical team, the PM was left red faced. SAPM Firdous Ashiq Awan has announced that the government is seeking the extradition of former PM Nawaz Sharif from UK. She accused a section of the media of running a campaign to influence public opinion by building an impression that Mr Sharif was critically ill. There is a need on the part of the government to reconsider the decision to seek Mr Sharif’s repatriation. What’s more, if the British government declined to accept the request for Mr Sharif’s deportation, the government will have an egg on its face.
