ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Wednesday announced that the passport of former premier Nawaz Sharif will be cancelled on February 16.

Talking to the journalists, the minister said that their doors for talks with the opposition are still open. "The opposition had been exposed as money launderers and people who obtained iqamas because they were not honest with the country," he maintained.

It is pertinent to mention here that Nawaz Sharif has been living in London since last year after he was allowed to leave the country on account of medical treatment.

Earlier this month, PM's Adviser on Accountability Mirza Shahzad Akbar had said that United Kingdom authorities had been asked to deport the convicted former prime minister from their country.

He said Pakistan had written a letter to the UK to cancel the visa of Nawaz which was issued for medical treatment after taking an undertaking.
