LONDON: For the first time, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Quaid and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has confirmed that he will retur home in October this year.
Nawaz said this for the first time on Friday during his meeting with his party workers and supporters at Stanhope House. Those in attendance included ex-PM Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N leaders Chaudhary Tanveer, Danyal Chaudhary, Chaudhary Nadeem Khan, Dr Anjum and others.
Sources present during the meeting at Stanhope House indicated that Nawaz’s travel to Pakistan is confirmed next month although no exact date has been fixed.
A local TV had revealed three weeks ago that the PML-N supremo was set to return to Pakistan in the middle of October. The sources also shared that the three-time premier will be returning in the “second half of October”.
Two weeks ago, PML-N President Shehbaz said that his elder brother would be returning in October.
“Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan in October and lead the election campaign and this has been decided after the PML-N party consultations,” Shehbaz said as Nawaz stood next to him.
Shehbaz went on to say that Nawaz would face the law of the land when he is back in Pakistan.
