ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif has informed Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz in writing about joining practical politics because the covenant on not taking active part in politics for 10 years has ended.
Sources said the former premier had written a letter to the Saudi king in this regard. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, after taking his elder brother into confidence, called on Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Aziz Ibrahim al-Ghadeer and gave him the letter here in Islamabad. The sources said Nawaz Sharif had formally informed the Saudi king in the letter about his active role in the future political activities.
Ibrahim al-Ghadeer, when contacted by Online, confirmed about his meeting with Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. He also confirmed Shahbaz Sharif had given him a letter for Saudi King Abdullah. Shahbaz also inquired about the health of King Abdullah, he added.
Following the military coup in 1999, the Sharif brothers had signed an accord with the Saudi government through the then Army chief General Pervez Musharraf that they will not take part in politics for the next 10 years. However, Shahbaz Sharif contested the 2008 general elections, dishonouring the agreement.
