Prime minister's job in the elections held on July 25, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached out to him. Modi spoke to Imran Khan, chairperson of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party, that emerged as the largest party defeating Nawaz Sharief's PML(N) and Bilawal Bhutto's PPP in the recent polls. Prime Minister Modi congratulated him for his party emerging as the largest political party in the National Assembly of Pakistan.
Prime Minister Modi expressed hope that democracy will take deeper roots in Pakistan. He also reiterated his vision of peace and development in the entire neighborhood. Ministry Of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had underlined the need for the new Pakistan regime to crack on terror outfits. India hopes that the new Government of Pakistan will work constructively to build a safe, stable, secure and developed South Asia free of terror and violence. But on the other hand Nawaz Sharief was arrested and under treatment for financial irregularities was the main contender for power in Islamabad. Islamabad's chief commissioner has declared former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharief's private ward at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences' (PIMS) Cardiac Centre as a 'sub-jail'.
The chief commissioner said that the PIMS Cardiac Centre ward will be declared "as sub-jail for keeping Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharief, convicted prisoner in NAB case with immediate effect. The notice also mentioned that the ward will remain as a sub-jail till the time Sharif is admitted there for medical attention, while security detail will be provided for by the Islamabad Capital Territory Police. On the orders of Pakistan's interim government, Sharif was on Sunday transferred to PIMS from the Adiala jail in Rawalpindi due to deteriorating health conditions. This came hours after the jail authorities informed the Pakistan Interior Ministry about Sharif's health complications, wherein he complained of severe pain in the chest and left shoulder. Also, head of PIMS cardiology department, Dr Naeem Malik had asked authorities to shift the three-time premier as blood tests had indicated signs of clotting, which was an alarming sign. This a tricky situation and may be the beginning of a new political crisis in Pakistan once the opposition comprising PML(N) and PPP join hands to start a crusade against Imran Khan. |
