No Change in Return Plan of Nawaz Sharif
Meanwhile, talking to the media Shehbaz Sharif said, “No change was made in return plan of PML-N supremo,”, adding that his brother was removed from power through a conspiracy, followed by rigging in the 2018 general elections that left the country far behind other competitors in the region.
Shehbaz Sharif further said the return of Nawaz Sharif would follow a consultation by the leadership to launch a proper campaign for the election under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif. He said that Nawaz Sharif after coming to Pakistan would face the law.
