There is a likelihood that Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan could visit UK to mount pressure on UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the deportation of Nawaz Sharif.
Apparently, the Pakistan’s Prime Minister is reportedly miffed with his predecessor, Nawaz Sharif, who has returned to frontline politics while in exile in London. In 2017, Nawaz had been ousted from power by the Supreme Court on charges of corruption. He was permitted to fly to the UK for medical treatment last year but has not returned since.
Pakistani newspaper Dawn had earlier reported that three weeks ago a letter for the deportation of the three-time Prime Minister was handed over personally to the British High Commissioner. It has cited UK’s own immigration laws of 1974 under which any person sentenced to imprisonment of more than four years had to be deported to the country of his/her origin. Now, Imran Khan is likely to visit London to speed-up the process and build diplomatic pressure on the UK.
