Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), is expected to return to Pakistan by the middle of next month, private news agency learned on Tuesday.
Nawaz will depart for Pakistan from London “after a month,” according to a Sharif family insider who spoke on the condition of anonymity. In the middle of September, the former prime minister will likely return to Pakistan.
The PML-N leader’s trip to Europe and the Middle East, which began two months ago and ended last week when Nawaz arrived in London, had been recommended by the Sharif family’s legal and political advisers to terminate immediately and return to Pakistan.
Nawaz has been persuaded by certain PML-N members, though, to arrive in mid-September.
Return of Nawaz Sharif To Pakistan
“Nawaz Sharif’s decision to return to Pakistan after ending nearly four years of exile is final and everything is in order,” said the source who has been part of the negotiation and the arrangements
Shehbaz Sharif, a former prime minister, and Maryam, the senior vice president of the PML-N, have been in touch with Nawaz Sharif frequently over the ups and downs of his return to Pakistan.
The insider claimed that Shehbaz Sharif, the former PM of Pakistan who has since completed his tenure, would arrive in London in less than a week to meet Nawaz Sharif.
Rana Sanaullah, Khawaja Asif, Javed Latif, Saad Rafique, Parvez Rasheed, Irfan Siddiqui, and many more prominent PML-N members are scheduled to travel to London over the next three weeks to discuss and organize for Sharif’s homecoming.
According to the source, Nawaz will receive a grand welcome from the PML-N after arriving in the UK in November 2019 for medical treatment and deciding to stay after the allotted court term has passed.
Planning To Welcome Nawaz Sharif In Lahore
The PML-N aims to mobilize tens of thousands of supporters when Nawaz Sharif lands in Lahore, according to Hina Pervez Butt, the party’s top social media worker and a former provincial member residing in London.
The source claimed that Nawaz’s cases are unaffected by the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Supreme Court (Review of Judgements and Orders) Act 2023.
