ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday urged the United Kingdom to repatriate former premier and leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Nawaz Sharif, who is wanted in many cases by the country’s top courts. “The British Home Secretary Priti Patel has been conveyed that it is his responsibility to repatriate Nawaz Sharif to Pakistan, but the UK has not yet cooperated with the Pakistani government in sending Nawaz Sharif back,” the source said. Earlier, Priti confirmed that if a formal request was received from Pakistan to send Nawaz Sharif back to Pakistan, the British government would pay full attention to it in accordance with British law. He said that the positivity rate among passengers travelling from Pakistan to the UK was also alarmingly high. During the meeting, the two sides agreed to sign the extradition and repatriation agreements between Pakistan and the UK as soon as possible.
