Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday charged PML-N Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif of deliberately ignoring the 'NRO' he had signed with former dictator Pervez Musharraf to escape imprisonment.

Nawaz Sharif is criticizing National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) but deliberately ignored "the NRO" he had signed with former President Pervez Musharraf to leave the country and escape imprisonment, Malik stated at a news conference, after attending a meeting held to review implementation process of Aghaz-e-Haqooq-e-Balochistan.

"Facing imprisonment is not easy and Nawaz Sharif sought pardon for him and his family members, signed a deal and left the nation in lurch by proceeding aborad," he said, making public the PML (N) leadership signed documents before the media.
