The path of Nawaz Sharif's return to politics has paved

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The members of the Pakistani parliament have approved a plan that paves the way for the return of the exiled former prime minister of this country to politics.

 

Pakistan's National Assembly has approved a plan to limit the length of time lawmakers can be fired, paving the way for exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to return to politics, a government spokesman said on Tuesday.

 

Sharif served as the Prime Minister of Pakistan for three terms before being removed from power in 2017 on charges of embezzlement. The Supreme Court of Pakistan banned Sharif from politics forever and he was sentenced to seven years in prison.

 

In 2019, Sharif received a medical exemption due to suffering from an immune system disorder and other diseases, and by canceling the travel ban, he was able to leave Pakistan for England and has been living there ever since.

 

Since 2019, the exiled Prime Minister of Pakistan has been leading and directing the Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which is run by his family, from behind the scenes.

 

Shahbaz Sharif, the brother of Nawaz Sharif, was elected as the Prime Minister of Pakistan last year, and this country is going to hold parliamentary elections before October this year.

 

On Tuesday, a Pakistani government spokesman said the interim president had signed an amendment that says courts can only impeach members of parliament "for a period of not less than five years".

 

The spokesperson of the government of Pakistan has said that "Sadiq Sanjrani", the chairman of the Senate of Pakistan, as the acting president, signed this bill on Monday in the absence of the president of Pakistan, "Arif Alvi", who is on a Hajj trip.

 

Hassan Askari, a political analyst, says: "The ruling Muslim League Nawaz and its coalition partners want to return Nawaz Sharif." This bill has been approved to achieve this goal.

 

He further added: "Nawaz Sharif will be the only fighter of the Muslim League party in the next elections." His return is politically very useful for this party, but it is not yet clear whether he himself will compete for the elections or not."

 

According to this report, Sharif is still facing the embezzlement case, which caused him to be convicted during the tenure of Imran Khan, the successor of Nawaz Sharif.

 

Shahbaz removed Imran Khan from power with a vote of no confidence in April last year.

 

According to the report, Khan has called for early elections, but his campaign has been mired in dozens of legal cases.

 

Not long ago, Imran Khan was arrested on charges of embezzlement. His supporters attacked army facilities after his arrest on charges of embezzlement on May 9. A spokesman for Pakistan's military said at least 102 people were being tried in military courts in connection with the violence.

 

Former international cricket champion-turned-politician Khan, 70, has faced numerous cases since he was ousted in a no-confidence vote last year.
