Nawaz being allowed to go abroad only on humanitarian grounds: Sh Rashid

Federal Minister for Railway Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that no deal had been reached between the government and Nawaz Sharif for allowing him to go abroad for his treatment.

He was talking with anchor Shahzaib Khanzada in Geo News' programme Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Key Saath which aired Friday.

Rashid assured that Prime Minister Imran Khan would not create any hurdles when it came to Nawaz Sharif's health.

Rashid said that even if an enemy is sick we should pray for his health. Nawaz Sharif is being given relief on humanitarian grounds.

"We pray for his early recovery and wish he would return with good health," he added.

The federal minister said that Nawaz Sharif was granted bail only and his case has not been dismissed.

He said that Maryam Nawaz was not being allowed to go abroad with her father.

The railways minister added Shehbaz Sharif plays on both sides of the wicket and he was a politician who makes his own way.
