LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: The government on Friday vowed to bring back deposed prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supreme leader Nawaz Sharif from London and imprison him in a local jail before January 15. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Minister for Information Shibli Faraz said: “Nawaz Sharif would be in Kot Lakhpat or some other jail by Jan. 15.” He further said Sharif would not be allowed to “escape without answering for his crimes”. Responding to the claim, Faraz said the CCTV footage of the incident “proved” no door was broken. Responding to Maryam who dismissed the idea of an inquiry into the arrest, Faraz said: “On one hand, Maryam says there is no need for an inquiry. Nawaz Sharif only said it, you [Imran] proved it […] showed the nation what a state above the state is,” she claimed.
