Nawaz Sharif files appeal

LAHORE: After the UK's Home Department refused to extend Nawaz Sharif's stay in London on "medical grounds", the former Pakistan Prime Minister filed an appeal at the British Immigration Tribunal in response, a media report said on Friday. The decision of the Home Department prompted the incumbent Imran Khan government to offer the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo to arrange his return to Pakistan at a notice of 24 hours if he is willing, said the Dawn news report.

"The UK Home Department has refused to extend Sharif's stay in the country any further on medical grounds. However, Sharif will legally remain in the UK till the tribunal issues its decision on his plea for his stay in the country," PML-N information secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb told Dawn news on Thursday.
