'If he (Nawaz Sharif) wanted to come back to Pakistan, if he wanted to do party politics, the government has no objection to it. On the day he takes the decision along with others to return to Pakistan, we will book tickets for them,' he said.

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Social Protection and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Sania Nishtar was ready to give briefing to any committee about 'Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme', he added.
