Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) chief Shahbaz Sharif has claimed that before the family left for Saudi Arabia guns were pointed at their heads and threats of dire consequences for the entire family, including their old parents, if they did not comply.
London, Aug 23 : Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) chief Shahbaz Sharif has claimed that before the family left for Saudi Arabia guns were pointed at their heads and threats of dire consequences for the entire family, including their old parents, if they did not comply.
Shahbaz reiterated his earlier claim and that of his brother Nawaz Sharif that the two did not leave the country in December 2000, as a result of any deal with the Pakistan Government.
Shahbaz refused to identify the gentleman, who as the signed document said had negotiated the 10-year exile deal with the Pakistan Government on behalf of Nawaz, Shahbaz and the rest of Sharif family.
He also did not deny that before he left Saudi Arabia in 2003 for the US for medical treatment he had signed an undertaking that he would not indulge in political activities during his visit and would return to Saudi Arabia after treatment.
Shahbaz, however, kept side-stepping direct questions and would break into political harangue against Musharraf every time he was asked about the content of the document the Sharif family had signed in December 2000.
When pressed he said he had not seen the documents which the government submitted to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, the Dawn reported.
