Shehbaz Sharif, on the other hand, has chosen to appeal to the Lahore High Court over the government’s decision to prevent him from seeking medical treatment overseas.
Shehbaz Sharif’s lawyer, according to reports, has drafted a contempt of court suit against the federal government and has asked the court to intervene. The leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have resolved to record a protest in the National Assembly today against Shehbaz Sharif’s refusal to go overseas.
The Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) banned the PML-N leader from travelling from Lahore airport to the UK through Qatar in the early hours of the morning on May 8, only hours after the Lahore High Court gave him permission to travel abroad once for medical treatment.

Shehbaz Sharif arrived at the airport with other party officials, but despite being given a boarding card, he was “offloaded” before the Doha-bound flight took off. At the immigration desk, FIA officials informed him that his name was on the PNIL and that he could not leave the country until the system was updated.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) informed the court that Shehbaz is being accused of transferring Rs533 million using TTs (telegraphic transfer). According to the bureau, the PML-N president recorded Rs2.1 million in assets in 1990, which increased to Rs41 million in 1998.
