The government has reiterated that it has no intentions of renewing former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif’s soon-to-be expired passport. Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Wednesday, December 31 said the former prime minister’s passport would be cancelled on February 16 2021.
During his second visit second to the Capital Development Authority, Sheikh Rashid, who has been saying for many days that he is yet to check when Sharif’s passport is set to the expiry date stated that “Let me give you a piece of news. We will cancel Nawaz Sharif’s passport on Feb 16.”
Under the rules, former presidents, prime ministers, Senate chairmen, speakers of the National Assembly, chief justices, governors, chief ministers, ministers and ministers of state, special assistants to the prime minster and attorneys general are entitled to hold diplomatic passports, but the official said Mr Sharif’s case was different because he was an absconder.
Speaking to the press in London, Nawaz Sharif’s son, Hussain Nawaz stated “This is not at all shocking. We had no hope of any goodwill from them [the government]. The way they arrested Khawaja Asif and their continued custody of Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz is evidence of their intentions.”
