‘Banished’ Nawaz Sharif to be back in Pakistan after Eid, face the courts
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s former three-time PM Nawaz Sharif is returning to the nation after Eid to willingly deal with the judicial process in all cases versus him, federal minister and PML-N leader Javed Latif stated on Wednesday. He also exposed that PPP had named the celebration’s chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for the vacant foreign minister’s berth and that he would take the oath for the office after returning from London.
Nawaz, whose third term as PM ended in 2017 when he was required to resign in accordance with the Supreme Court’s decision in the Panama papers case, flew to London in November 2019 to seek treatment for various disorders.
“Nawaz Sharif will be seen in Pakistan after Eid,” Latif said in a video declaration a day after new PM Shehbaz Sharif’s 37-member cabinet took the oath of office.
On the cases as pending versus Nawaz, the minister said PML-N thought in the sanctity of the legal procedure and would accept whatever verdict the courts offered.
Farhatullah Babar, PPP’s secretary-general, stated party chief Bilawal was checking out London mainly to meet Nawaz and congratulate him on the brand-new coalition government.
A two-member bench of the Lahore high court is arranged to take up a petition filed by PML-N, looking for the removal of Nawaz’s name from the no-fly list. His name was placed on the exit control list by the erstwhile PTI-led federal government after he made a long-distance comeback to politics in 2020 by breaking a two-year silence to denounce the country’s effective military and pledging to fall Imran Khan.
