The UK Home Office excused itself from extending the Visa of Mian Nawaz Sharif. PML-N filed an appeal against the decision in the British Immigration Tribunal.
Mr Sharif holds the status of a proclaimed offender in two cases, Avenfield and Al-Azizia, by Islamabad High Court. However, the decision of the immigration tribunal is pending, it is a moral duty of the Sharif family to face the accountability process in Pakistan. Despite being the founder of the 2nd popular party in the country, this attitude by Nawaz Sharif and his party is not only immoral but also a disgrace for the country. It is very clear that Mr Sharif lied about his health and provided the court with fake medical certificates.Studying the matter thoroughly, one can easily understand that the Nawaz family is not willing to face the accountability process. The interventions of the international establishment in Pakistani politics are notable since independence. Politicians always blame each other for joining hands with the international establishment to weaken each other. In my opinion, returning to Pakistan is not an option for the Sharif family. He is not intended to face the accountability process. This is nothing new in Pakistani politics. Mr Sharif is trying to portray himself as an anti-establishment figure. This will provide him with some sort of support from international groups.Despite being one of the influential figures, Nawaz Sharif is vulnerable, and it is easy for international groups to control him. Mr Sharif, after sensing no support from Pakistan, is establishing an anti-establishment environment to gain support from international powers. We can say that he is following the footsteps of Altaf Hussain. Pakistani politicians have always been committed to personal benefits for which they’ve always put national interests at stake. The same is the case with Nawaz Sharif and Altaf Hussain. Altaf Hussain is accused of terrorism. Nawaz Sharif is a proclaimed corrupt figure. Such elements are favourites of the international establishment, and that’s why Mr Sharif always portrays himself as a democratic and anti-establishment figure. There is nothing on record that the international establishment is using or blackmailing the Sharif family. It is the Sharif family who is willing to go to any extent to save their wealth.We should also know that pressure is mounting against corruption in the international world as well as in Pakistan. This pressure is turning the tide. The UK is believed to be a safe destination for corrupt elements across the world. We can say that this pressure may have influenced the UK to act against corrupt politicians, compelling them to leave the country.
