Sharifs may not return until Nov
Nawaz Sharif, former prime minister and chief of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), and his family plan to return to Pakistan by the end of November after spending Ramazan in Saudi Arabia, sources told Daily Times on Thursday.
The sources said that Nawaz held a meeting with his family members before the Supreme Court gave a ruling on his petition and it was decided that the Sharif family would first go to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah and spend the last two weeks of Ramazan in Mecca. They would also call on the Saudi royal family to thank them for their hospitality.
However, the final decision on the Sharif family’s return to Pakistan would be taken in the PML-N central executive committee (CEC) meeting likely to be held in London in the first week of September. The sources said that Nawaz’s eldest son Hussain Nawaz, daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Capt (r) Muhammad Safdar would leave for Jeddah from London on August 30 to make arrangements for the family’s stay in Saroor Palace.
PML-N Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Muhammad Mehdi said the party workers wanted the Sharif brothers to return to Pakistan at the earliest, but the party would not take a hasty decision. He said that PML-N Chairman Raja Zafarul Haq would hold a meeting of the party’s CEC and the central working committee in the next few days to draw a strategy for the Sharifs’ return to the country. Mehdi said the CEC and CWC meetings would also discuss the provincial-level arrangements for giving Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif a warm welcome at the Lahore Airport.
