ISLAMABAD - Advisor to the Prime Minister on Political Communication, Shahbaz Gill on Friday said that British government had decided to take action against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif-type elements. In a statement, the advisor said that such kind of corrupt people are responsible for poverty in the countries. These corrupt elements will soon meet their destiny, he hoped. Earlier, Gill said that abusive language was agenda of opposition parties. He said that the opposition was trying to gather Kashmiris to get National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).

Meanwhile, Dr Shahbaz Gill Friday said PM Imran Khan had taken briefing from Inspector General of Police (IGP), Islamabad on Noor Muqaddam case as he was personally looking into the matter. He said the prime minister had directed the IGP not to give relaxation to anyone allegedly involved in this case. The court was requested to take up the case on priority, he added Dr Gill said if police had received the information in time, perhaps, the life of Noor could have been saved. He said such cases should properly be handled till to the logical conclusion so that the culprits could be brought to justice timely.
