If something happens to Nawaz politics will get bitter: Chaudhry Shujaat

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has said Prime Minister Imran Khan and his cabinet should have a big heart and allow former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for medical treatment abroad.

“This matter should not turn into official complexity as the government should make a decision regarding removing Nawaz’s name from Exit Control List (ECL) on humanitarian ground,” he said.

Shujaat added, politics should not be on illness. “If God forbids anything happens to Nawaz, it will only bring further bitterness in politics as such no step should be taken which could not allayed afterwards.”
