ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Leader of the Opposition Khurshid Shah on Thursday said that it is saddening to see no good hospitals built during Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) tenure as the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has to go abroad for treatment.
Talking to media in the Parliament House, he said that politicians should not ‘shut doors on one and another’, adding that the prime minister would have met former president Asif Ali Zardari in London by now if opposition was ‘friendly’.
Zardari’s meeting with PM Nawaz in the current political developments in context of Panama leaks would have sparked speculations, he said. He said that Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had cleared that there could be no meeting. He also said that it was in Nawaz’s favour for now to not convene a meeting with the PPP leadership.
Criticising the development claims of the ruling party, he said it was a pity that hospitals could not be built in Pakistan and influential persons were to go abroad for treatment. His criticism came in after PM Nawaz went to London twice in less than two months for medical treatment.
Both the visits raised many eyebrows in difference sections as they incidentally were paid after Panama Papers published Mossack Fonseca’s leaked documents which were analysed by International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
Nawaz Sharif’s family among 140 leaders of the world was revealed to be owning offshore companies. The leaks gave rise to the suspicion across the board that tax evasion was the purpose behind.
