Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan after Eid: Javed Latif
PML-N senior leader Mian Javed Latif said Monday that former prime minister and party supremo Nawaz Sharif is expected to return to Pakistan after Eid.
The PML-N supremo left for London in November 2019 following his illness as then Prime Minister Imran Khan had permitted him to go abroad for medical treatment.
In 2018, an accountability court had sentenced Nawaz to seven years in prison in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference, while he was also sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison and slapped an £8 million fine (Rs1.3 billion) in the Avenfield properties reference.
Subsequently, in 2019, the Lahore High Court (LHC) after suspending his sentence, allowed Nawaz to go abroad for medical treatment.
Speaking on PML-N senior leader Javed Latif said that Nawaz will return to Pakistan after Eid as currently there is no pandemic in the country.Latif further said that after coming to Pakistan, Nawaz will face the cases against him.
“He [Nawaz Sharif] will face the courts and rule of law, but we expect neither should anyone should be treated as ladla [favourite] nor should anyone have to face brutality,” he added.
