Faisalabad: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif has sought a "deal" for four members of his family, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communications Shahbaz Gill claimed on Sunday.
Addressing a media conference in the city, Gill told the Sharif family: "Whatever deal and discount you had to offer, you have done it."
Further addressing the Sharif family, he said that "It is not that you are on a shopping trip, that you are seeking a deal".
Gill said that no deal will ever be given to the Sharif family. "Imran Khan is standing in your way," he said. "They didn't let him go when he was in opposition, how will they let him go now?" she added.
Speaking about the details of the so-called "deal", Gill claimed it was sought for Nawaz, "his daughter", Shahbaz and "his son". He claimed that the request is to allow the latter three persons to leave the country, while "Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will remain".
“We won’t even give you boiled potatoes, and here you are, asking for a chicken burger deal,” he said, adding that “the Sharif family is asking for a burger deal that includes a toy.”
Gill claimed that he met Nawaz thrice during his hospitalization in Pakistan, and that the PML-N supremo would "beg to be let go".
The premier's aide said the government wanted to bring back Nawaz, who is currently living in London after traveling there to seek medical treatment in November 2019. He claimed that Nawaz was "being sent here in a plane" and that he would "go to jail on his arrival".
He added: "Soon you will see Shahbaz Sharif behind bars."
Gill said that now instead of dirty tricks in politics in Pakistan, there will be a clear competition between one vote and another vote.
Meanwhile, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry also spoke about the Sharif family in a separate media briefing and claimed that there was a "race" going on between the four key members.
The minister further claimed, "When four big leaders went to meet 'somebody', they said 'Nawaz Sharif did not do right by the country, why don't you believe us?'," the minister further claimed.
However, the two PTI leaders are not the first to speak of "char Sharifs" in the recent past. On Friday, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said the "four members" of the Sharif family may consider themselves "subtracted" from Pakistan's politics.
Although the interior minister did not specify who the four members actually were, he was probably referring to the four Sharifs who have been active as politicians, namely Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, Shahbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz, including The first two were ineligible. To hold public office in 2017.
Ahmed said: "They want Prime Minister Imran Khan's hand of mercy to be placed on his head. That hand may be on his neck, but never on his head."
PML-N replied
Responding to Gill's remarks, PML-N's Talal Chowdhury said that it is Nawaz Sharif who will "never give breathing space to this fake government".
Chowdhary said, "Look where the country stands. Neither the poor man has bread to eat nor does our country have any respect."
The PML-N leader claimed, "The hand of mercy you had on your head is now at the feet of Nawaz Sharif."
Choudhary added, "They hardly manage to run the government and still have the courage to create such stories."
