PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan on Oct 21, his brother and former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed on Tuesday.
In a statement, the former premier said the party founder would be given a grand welcome upon return.
The elder Sharif departed the country in November 2019 for medical treatment following his conviction in a corruption case. He has not returned since.
He was deemed an absconder the following February. Later in 2020, courts declared him as a proclaimed offender.
Last week, Shehbaz Sharif reiterated that Nawaz Sharif will return to the country in October. Speaking to a private TV channel earlier, Shehbaz expressed his thoughts in line with the return of Nawaz to the country, saying, “The date regarding the return of Nawaz Sharif to the country will be announced soon.” Earlier in August, Shehbaz Sharif said he would lead the election campaign of the PML-N.
Former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif said the date of October 15 had been officially selected for Nawaz Sharif’s return to his homeland. He vowed that Nawaz Sharif would return to his country and face the law.
Shehbaz Sharif also commented that accountability of the people is a must thing to run the country forward.
