ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government will challenge the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) verdict allowing Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif to leave the country for medical treatment, government ministers have announced.
After hinting at using “all legal options” to prevent Shahbaz from going abroad, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and the Prime Minister’s Adviser on Accountability Shahzad Akbar held a news conference on Sunday in which they said the government would file an appeal against the LHC granted one-time permission to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president to travel abroad.
