Hanif Abbasi is living in at the house of an old PML-N leader in Alexandria Virginia.
Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 28th July, 2019)
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (
PML-N) leader
Hanif Abbasi has reportedly left the country.
Media reports said that the
PML-N leader will stay in America until the situation improves in
Pakistan.
According to a
news report published in a local newspaper,
Hanif Abbasi is living in at the house of an old
PML-N leader in
Alexandria Virginia.
Meanwhile,
Abid Sher Ali is also living in Long Island,
New York for a long time now. These two politicians are upset over the
PML-N leadership being divided into two parts.
Abbasi was imprisoned for life after being convicted of obtaining a large amount of ephedrine, which is a controlled substance, and then selling it to narcotic smugglers.
He was found guilty of selling 500kg ephedrine illegally.
A trial
court had sentenced him on
July 21,
2018. He was completing the sentence at
Rawalpindi's Adiala
Jail.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) had on April 11 suspended the life sentence awarded to Hanif Abbasiin 2018 in the Ephedrine quota case, ordering his release on bail.
The ANF had challenged the LHC verdict in the
Supreme Court on
May 2,
2019.
The ANF, in its petition, stated that Abbasi is a convict and not an accused. Therefore, his bail should be suspended.
However, the Supreme Court returned the ANF petition against bail of Hanif Abbasi with objections.
