Pakistan will request the British government to deport Nawaz Sharif, a senior official said while alleging that the “absconding” former prime minister was playing a “fixed match” regarding his illness while in London.

Casting doubts on the illness of the 70-year-old three-time former prime minister, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information Firdous Ashiq Awan said Sharif has neither undergone any heart surgery nor was he admitted to hospital for any emergency during the last three months.

Sharif left for London in November last for treatment after the Lahore High Court allowed him to go abroad on medical grounds for four weeks.
