Cameron calls Nawaz; grieved at Lahore killings

LAHORE: US diplomat to Pakistan Cameron Minter late Saturday ringed Quaid Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Mian Mohammed Nawaz Sharif and shared with him his feelings imbibed with utter grief and sorrow over Lahore incident wherein two Pakistani men were shot dead by a US consulate official and another man was trampled to death by a US consulate car, Geo News reported.

During the telephonic conversation, Cameron urged Nawaz Sharif that Pakistani government should give US consulate worker, Raymond Davis, under US custody because Davis possesses immunity under diplomatic relations being an employee of US consulate.

Upon this, Mian Nawaz, declining US envoy’s demand, replied that loss of three precious lives of Pakistani citizens had deeply hurt entire nation, adding that only court could come up with ultimate judgment on the issue.

“I can do nothing as the matter is currently being heard in court,” Nawaz concluded.
