PM asks Nawaz to return and face independent judiciary Ag Agencies BHIMBER/MIRPUR: Prime Minister Imran Khan Sunday asked his predecessor Nawaz Sharif and his family members residing in the United Kingdom to return home and face trials to prove their honesty as the judiciary in the country “is fully independent”. Sharif went to the United Kingdom for medical treatment in November 2019 and Khan on several occasions has alleged the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo went abroad to avoid accountability. “The judiciary in the country is fully independent as Imran Khan did not attack courts or contact judges for seeking favourable judgments,” the Prime Minister said while addressing two separate election campaign rallies for the Azad Jammu and Kashmir general election on July 25. He said: “I ask them a question: Why are they sitting outside the country if they are honest and truthful? Why do they fear facing courts?”
