Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid on Wednesday termed Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML) Chief Nawaz Sharif as the ‘most unfortunate’ leader in the world who fled to London and is staying there on fake medical reports.
While addressing the media in Islamabad, he said, “There is no such unfortunate leader in the world like Nawaz Sharif who has escaped from his country and living abroad on the basis of fake reports.”
The interior minister refuted the talks of the presidential system, enforcement of emergency, deal, and no-confidence motion. He said the opposition can come to Islamabad on February 27 and March 23 to fulfil its desire.

He said 87 new National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) centres have been established across the country while adding that the rotation policy will be followed. “I have asked the NADRA chairman to review the employees deployed on the same locations for years, particularly in Sindh,” Rashid said.
Responding to a question on the recent shuffle in Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) which included five members of the sugar inquiry team, Rashid said they [transfers] must have been done by the agency’s director general (DG).
He clarified that only the prime minister can cancel the transfer orders now while turning down the impression that the recent shuffle in FIA happened because of the pressure of some federal ministers.
On a question, he said the demands put forward by Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) cannot be met by an elected government while confirming that no negotiations are happening between the proscribed outfit and government.
