Published March 9, 2005

ISLAMABAD, March 8: PML-N Information Secretary Siddiqul Farooque has offered cash award of Rs10 million to Information Minister Sheikh Rashid if he could make public the so-called agreement under which, according to official claims, Nawaz Sharif was exiled for 10 years.

Commenting on the minister's remarks at a news conference, the PML-N leader, in a statement here on Tuesday, said he had earlier challenged former interior minister Moinuddin Haider and Sheikh Rashid several times to bring in public the agreement if it existed.
