NAB Chairman's absence delayed a decision on Sharif's transfer

government could t remove Sharif's name from fly-list as National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman, Javed Iqbal, was t available to issue a -objection certificate. Minister for Law Farogh Naseem was chairing meet attended by Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan on Accountability Shahz Akbar and interior secretary. Sharif's personal physician nan Khan and a lawyer Attaullah Tarar, as well as representatives of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), were also attending meeting to brief committee about ir respective positions on issue. meeting was tasked to give proposals after NAB, anti-corruption watchdog, refused to decide wher Sharif's name should be removed from -fly list.

NAB's refusal forced government to settle issue in Cabinet meeting being held later on Tuesday. But before cabinet meeting, sub-committee would firm up its proposal on issue on basis of legal and medical grounds. Sources in ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) told PTI that Prime Minister Imran Khan is facing resistance from some of his Cabinet colleagues and party members who are opposed to giving any concession to Sharif. y believe that decision to let Sharif go out on even medical grounds would hurt party as PTI won elections on slogan of bringing all corrupt politicians to book. Minister for Water Faisal Vawda tweeted to show displeasure at prospects of Sharif going out of country.
dressing Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz, he tweeted: Abbu (Nawaz) and Chacha (Shahbaz) are going to where (London) our or absconding relatives live with a looted wealth of Pakistan.
