Nawaz Sharif to return Pakistan in October, says ex-PM Shehbaz Sharif

LONDON: Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) supremo Nawaz Sharif would return to Pakistan in October.

This was revealed by former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif while talking to reporters, according to media reports on Saturday.

Shehbaz Sharif, who is also PML(N) president, said that the senior leadership after intensive deliberations here decided that Nawaz Sharif would be in Pakistan in October to lead the party’s election campaign.

Flanked by Nawaz Sharif and others, Shehbaz Sharif alleged that former prime minister Imran Khan had ruined the economy, besides straining diplomatic relations with other countries.

He said that the assemblies were dissolved in accordance with the law, and now the responsibility rested with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to conduct elections in a free and fair manner. The PML-N would fully back the ECP as a political party in discharging its duties, he added. – Web Desk / News Agencies
