PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui on Tuesday said party supremo Nawaz Sharif will fly to Saudi Arabia tomorrow (October 11), where he will perform Umrah and spend time with his son Hussain Sharif.
Nawaz, who has been in self-imposed exile since 2019, left for London in the middle of his seven-year jail term on medical grounds. In the four years that transpired, Nawaz was declared a proclaimed offender in the Al Azizia and Avenfield graft cases for his continuous absence from proceedings.
Meanwhile, the elder Sharif marked his final day at Stanhope House, the party’s de facto London headquarters, on Oct 6.
In a talk with journalists on Tuesday, PML-N’s Irfan Siddiqui said Nawaz would leave for Saudi Arabia tomorrow (Wednesday). “I don’t have any reports of his meeting with the Royal family. “But he will perform Umrah, spend time with his son … most of his stay would be in Madina,” he revealed. Siddiqui added that Nawaz would leave for the United Arab Emirates two days before his expected arrival in Pakistan on October 21. “He will rest there and is also expected to meet some party leaders.”
