PML-N Punjab President and former interior minister Rana Sanaullah has dubbed Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti’s statement that Nawaz Sharif will be arrested on his return if he does not get bail as “exceeding his jurisdiction”, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a post uploaded on social media platform X on Tuesday, Rana Sanaullah said “Before making such statements, look at what happened to the [former] interior minister Sheikh Rasheed.”

He said “Where Nawaz Sharif has to go from the airport on October 21 will not be decided by the interior ministry, it will be decided by the people.”

The PML-N leader said Nawaz Sharif, as always, will fulfil the requirements of the law in courts.

Former information minister Marriyum Aurangzeb also stated that where Nawaz Sharif chose to go from the airport was neither the problem of the interior minister nor his decision. “This is Nawaz Sharif’s and the people’s decision,” she reiterated.

In an interview with a private TV channel on Monday night, Sarfaraz Bugti was asked whether the government would arrest Nawaz Sharif if he failed to procure bail from courts.

In response, the minister said Nawaz would be arrested if he failed to get bail. “As you know, the airport is a sensitive area, a mob would not be allowed there … so if he does not get bail from the courts then we would have to arrest him,” he elaborated.
