PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif has announced that his brother and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would return to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia soon to lead his party in the forthcoming general election.
London, Sep 19 : PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif has announced that his brother and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would return to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia soon to lead his party in the forthcoming general election.
He did not give any specific date for Sharif's return, but insisted that it would be soon, "immediately after Eid or even before".
Shahbaz said that by returning home after the presidential elections, Sharif would be doing exactly what the Saudi prince and Saad Hariri had asked him to do when they met him in London.
"We could not have done that. We had made a commitment to the nation and had taken a decision to return home immediately in the light of the Supreme Court ruling," he added.
He said that the government had committed contempt of court by forcibly deporting Sharif for the second time, and added, "The legal process, which we had initiated, would begin in due course of time."
Shahbaz claimed that the Pakistan Government's statement alleging that Sharif preferred deportation to detention on December 10 is completely wrong and nothing more than propaganda.
It is false propaganda on the part of the government that Sharif accepted exile willingly, he maintained.
The government involved a third country to block Nawaz's return to Pakistan, he alleged.
Shahbaz said that if Bhutto had abandoned her negotiations with Musharraf, she was welcome back into the fold of the opposition.
"She leads a very large party. The opposition would be greatly strengthened by her return to its fold," the Dawn quoted him, as saying.
He said the APDM would stage a countrywide agitation against the military-led government on September 21.
Shahbaz said that Nawaz had met King Abdullah on Friday and on Sunday he had dinner with Maulana Fazlur Rehman of the JUI.
