Former Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif recently made a statement asserting that there have been no changes in the return date of his brother, Nawaz Sharif, to Pakistan. This statement comes amidst growing anticipation and speculation about Nawaz Sharif’s return to his home country, Pakistan. Shahbaz Sharif clarified that neither has he met with Nawaz Sharif in Gugranwala nor has Nawaz Sharif made the journey to Gugranwala, a city of political significance in Pakistan.
To discuss and possibly plan Nawaz Sharif’s return, Shahbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, Nawaz Sharif’s daughter, held a meeting at the office of Hassan Nawaz, another member of the Sharif family, in London.
Speaking to the media in London, Shahbaz Sharif revealed that Nawaz Sharif had invited him for consultations, which is why he had traveled to London. The purpose of this meeting seemed to be to strategize the return and reentry of Nawaz Sharif into Pakistani politics.
Maryam Nawaz, who is also currently in London, mentioned that extensive preparations were underway for Nawaz Sharif’s return, indicating that a significant reception awaits him. She hinted that discussions regarding Nawaz Sharif’s homecoming would take place today.
Meanwhile, an important meeting was held in London involving senior leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), including Ishaq Dar, Javed Latif, Bilal Yasin, and Abid Sher Ali. These leaders not only met amongst themselves but also held meetings with Nawaz Sharif.
Bilal Yasin, a former member of the Punjab Assembly, expressed the sentiment that the entire Pakistan is eagerly awaiting Nawaz Sharif’s return, as Nawaz Sharif is expected to bring back Pakistan’s lost dignity and respect on the international stage.
Talal Chaudhry emphasized that Nawaz Sharif’s return would be historically significant and that Pakistan needed him urgently. He also mentioned that if there were allegations of corruption, they should be dealt with legally, as preparations were being made to address the legal aspects of Nawaz Sharif’s return.
Barrister Tahir, another leader of the PML-N, highlighted that there was no leadership in Pakistan that could match Nawaz Sharif’s stature, emphasizing Pakistan’s need for his leadership.
The President of PML-N Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Saeed, expressed confidence in Nawaz Sharif’s high morale before his return, anticipating a substantial number of overseas Pakistanis accompanying him. He believed that Nawaz Sharif’s return would mark the beginning of a new era of progress and development in Pakistan.
Shahbaz Sharif’s visit to London and the meetings held by PML-N leaders suggest that Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan is imminent and highly anticipated. The potential impact of his return on Pakistani politics and the country’s future direction is a matter of significant interest and speculation both within Pakistan and abroad.
