The Pakistani government has sought details of all pending cases against Nawaz Sharif and his brother from the country's four provinces.
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani government has sought details of all pending cases against Nawaz Sharif and his brother from the country's four provinces, giving clear indications that the deposed Premier and Shahbaz Sharif would be arrested on their arrival from ‘forced’ exile.
"The Interior Ministry has directed all the provincial Inspectors General of Police (IGPs), intelligence agencies and home departments to provide details of the cases against Nawaz and Shahbaz before September 10," the 'Daily Times' reported on Friday, quoting sources as saying.
The sources said the government might try to implicate the two top leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in a house-collapse case currently being heard by the Supreme Court. Margalla Towers had collapsed in 2005, killing several people, due to ‘substandard construction’ sanctioned by the Sharif government.
"Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah may appear in the Supreme Court on September 10 in the Margalla Towers case with the relevant record, showing Nawaz Sharif's involvement in the case," the unnamed sources said, stating that the government would try to implicate them in other cases too.
They said that the intelligence agencies were actively engaged in devising a strategy to deal with the situation when the Sharif brothers arrive to their home country on Monday as announced by the former Prime Minister, anticipating tough resistance from PML-N workers in case the Sharifs're arrested.
The government is also reviewing the legal situation in the wake of the recent Supreme Court judgement allowing the Sharif brothers to return home from exile.
