Interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has dismissed the impression that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif\u2019s decision to return to Pakistan was a part of any deal with the caretaker government.<\/p>\n

Nawaz, who has been in self-imposed exile since 2019, left for London<\/a> in the middle of his seven-year jail term on medical grounds. In the four years that transpired, Nawaz was declared a proclaimed offender in the Al Azizia and Avenfield graft cases for his continuous absence from proceedings.<\/p>\n

Last month, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif had confirmed<\/a> that his elder brother was returning to the country on October 21. Subsequently, the PML-N had declared<\/a> that Nawaz was ready to face \u201call kinds of circumstances\u201d upon his return from London.<\/p>\n

Last week, Nawaz\u2019s legal team submitted<\/a> his medical reports to the Lahore High Court, which said the PML-N supremo had \u201csome residual anginal symptoms\u201d. Separately, Shehbaz said the party\u2019s legal team had cleared Nawaz\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the elder Sharif marked his final day<\/a> at Stanhope House, the party\u2019s de facto London headquarters, on Oct 6. A day earlier, Nawaz left for Saudi Arabia, where he is expected to stay for a few days.<\/p>\n

In an interview with World Echo News<\/em> today, PM Kakar said: \u201cThe caretaker government has no soft corner for PML-N or any other political party \u2026 how can a caretaker government strike such a deal?\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Nawaz left the country as per the court\u2019s decision \u201cunder the nose of Imran Khan\u2019s government, and not the caretaker setup\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, if Nawaz returns and takes part in politics, he will have to face some legal obstacles, the premier said. \u201cThe answers to these legal questions lie in legal remedies.\u201d<\/p>\n

PM Kakar said any leader, be it Imran Khan, Asif Ali Zardari, or Nawaz Sharif, everyone would have to seek legal remedy as per their case scenario.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that Pakistan was witnessing the formation of \u201cregimental camps\u201d and the country had been turned into a fighting ground for political position.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he rejected the notion that the caretaker setup could be likened to the \u201990s \u201cKakar formula\u201d where the then-PM Nawaz and then-President Ghulam Ishaq Khan were forced to quit on the proposal of then-army chief General Waheed Kakar to make way for fresh polls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis comparison is apples and oranges. It is out of context because in our case, the stint of the normal Parliament led to its retirement and we are part of the constitutional continuation where leaders of the House and the Opposition agreed upon my name,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There has been no interference from any institution in our case, the PM asserted.<\/p>\n

On general polls, Kakar said necessary security and administrative arrangements were in place. He added that the caretaker government, in collaboration with the Election Commission of Pakistan, was in the process of the finalisation of the required measures.<\/p>\n

Talking about the expulsion of Afghan refugees, the prime minister said action was being taken only against unregistered foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s objective, he said, was to regulate the movement of unregistered foreign nationals through proper process.<\/p>\n

In response to a question on the possibility of recognising Israel, Kakar said: \u201cThere are no such deliberations going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pakistan considers Israel an \u201coppressor\u201d and stands with the rights of Palestinians to their existence and return to their land, he added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
