ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said on Tuesday former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and former president Asif Ali Zardari’s journey to prison was the most important chapter of the PTI’s election promises.
In a tweet, he said the ringleaders of groups involved in embezzling money over the past decade have landed in jail.
“This is unusual. The next phase should be of return of the looted national wealth which has been stashed away abroad,” he added.
آصف زرداری اور نواز شریف کی جیل یاترا PTI کے انتخابی وعدوں کا اہم ترین باب تھا، دس سالوں میں اربوں روپے کی ہیر پھیر کرنیوالے گروہوں کے سر غنہ جیل پہنچے، یہ معمولی بات نہیں۔ اب اگلا مرحلہ ریکوری کا ہونا چاہئے جہاں وہ رقوم جو ملک سے باہر ٹھکانے لگائیں گئیں وہ واپس ہوں۔

The NAB arrested PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari from his Islamabad residence after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) turned down his and his sister Faryal Talpur’s plea for extension in their interim bail in the case on Monday.
Following the arrest, Zardari was shifted to the NAB Rawalpindi office where doctors examined him. His medical report is expected to be presented in the court today.
Although, the court had also rejected Faryal Talpur’s bail plea but the NAB did not arrest her for the time being.
