Nawaz Sharif summons Maryam to London for consultation: sources

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif has summoned Maryam Nawaz to London immediately, citing party sources ARY News reported on Saturday.

Maryam Nawaz, chief organizer of the PML-N, will likely proceed to London next week, party sources said. “She will meet her father Nawaz Sharif and will stay in London for one week,” sources further said.

According to PML-N sources, Maryam will brief Nawaz Sharif about his homecoming reception plan. They will consult over finalization of the homecoming reception of Nawaz Sharif in Lahore.

“They will also discuss political and constitutional matters,” sources said.

“Nawaz Sharif’s reception plan will be finalized after Maryam Nawaz’s return from London,” they added.

Former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif had last week announced Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan on October 21. “Nawaz Sharif will be given a splendid welcome on his arrival in Pakistan”, he added.

He said that Nawaz Sharif was removed from power through a conspiracy and the rigging in the 2018 general elections left Pakistan behind in the region.

“We held consultations with the senior leadership of the party and decided that Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan in October and lead the election campaign,” Shehbaz Sharif said while talking to journalists in London.

The PML-N president also said that his brother world come to Pakistan and face the law and “there are no two opinions on it”.
