Medical reports: There's no reply from Nawaz, legal team: Shahzad

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar on Monday said the government had sought explanation from former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his legal team about his medical reports but so far the government had not received their reply.

He said Islamabad High Court (IHC) had granted eight weeks' bail to Sharif on medical grounds, which had expired. The reports sent by the former premier did not contain medical reports and he sent a certificate to the government of Punjab, he said while addressing the oath taking ceremony of IHC Journalists Association.

Akbar said that medical reports were not attached with the certificate sent by the former premier. The government has sought explanation from Shairf but so far the government had not received any reply, he said, adding, "We have asked about the treatment for Sharif abroad."

Regarding National Accountability Bureau (NAB), he said the anti-graft watchdog's recovery was better as compared to previous year.

The NAB law had been amended for better accountability process, he said.

He said NAB (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 had not been taken back and it was operational. The NAB (Amendment) Ordinance 2019 could be extended for another four months, he said.
