Following Nawaz Sharif bail, Attorney General of Pakistan wants all Pakistani prisoners with acute diseases to be bailed out of jails

ISLAMABAD - Following Nawaz Sharif bail, Attorney General of Pakistan wants all Pakistani prisoners with acute diseases to be bailed out.

In a surprise, Attorney General of Pakistan expressed serious concerns over Nawaz Sharif case episode.

Attorney General of Pakistan Anwar Mansoor on Saturday expressed displeasure with the way former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s temporary suspension of the sentence in Al-Azizia was handled.

Following the Islamabad High Court’s decision that granted bail to Nawaz Sharif over poor health, the AGP said the federal government was unaware of the developments in the case as it neither received a notice nor was it a party in the matter.

The AGP, however, said that in case the court summoned a representative from the federal government then they will appear before it.

He further said that if the former prime minister can get bail, then the same criteria needed to be applied to other prisoners, suffering from acute diseases.
