Sharif&#8217;s likelihoods of returning home are leaner due to new UK COVID variant."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the new COVID variant became available in the United Kingdom (UK), doctors advised PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif not to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government of former Prime Minister Imran Khan refused to renew Nawaz&#8217;s passport after it expired in February last year, but interior minister Sheikh Rasheed later said that if the PML-N supremo wanted to return, he could be issued a special certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the incumbent government, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrapidnews.com\/eng\/2022\/04\/14\/chinese-prime-minister-wants-to-collaborate-with-shehbaz-sharif\/\">Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/a>, issued a new passport to the PML-N leader on April 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was expected that Nawaz would return to the country after receiving a new passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the source, Nawaz Sharif&#8217;s chances of being repatriated have ended after doctors advised him not to travel until his treatment was completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Doctors have advised [the] PML-N supremo to avoid travel after a new variant of COVID was discovered in the UK,&#8221; a source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many European countries, including Germany and Portugal, have experienced an increase in Omicron sub-variant BA.5 cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, 27,000 cases and 47 deaths were reported in Portugal as a result of the COVID subvariant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Eid, Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April, PML-N senior leader Javed Latif said on Geo News&#8217; Aapas Ki Baat that Nawaz will return to Pakistan after Eid because there is no pandemic in the country at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Latif went on to say that once Nawaz arrives in Pakistan, he will face the charges against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He [Nawaz Sharif] will face the courts and the rule of law, but we do not expect anyone to be treated as a ladla [favourite] or to face brutality,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PML-N supremo has left for treatment in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following his illness, the PML-N supremo left for London in November 2019 after Prime Minister Imran Khan granted him permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, an accountability court sentenced Nawaz to seven years in prison in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference, and he was also sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined \u00a38 million (Rs1.3 billion) in the Avenfield corruption reference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the new COVID variant became available in the United Kingdom (UK), doctors advised
