Attempts to minus Nawaz Sharif caused economic, political turmoil: Maryam

PESHAWAR/LAHORE: Senior Vice President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Maryam Nawaz on Saturday said that the prevailing economic turmoil in the country was due to conspiracies against former premier Mian Nawaz Sharif to minus him from country’s politics.

Addressing a gathering of PML-N workers in Peshawar on Saturday, she said, “Those who wanted to minus Nawaz Sharif have themselves vanished from the political spectrum.”

Maryam Nawaz confirmed that the former premier, who has been in self-exile in London for his treatment since long, would return to Pakistan on Oct 21, saying the days of distress were about to over for masses.

She said Nawaz Sharif wanted to usher in a new era of development in country and rid the public from inflation. She added that her father resolutely faced the political victimsation and emerged victorious.

The PML-N’s supremo had been punished for serving people and controlling inflation, she said. While referring to disqualification of the former premier, she said such incidents sparked inflation and derailed the country from the track leading to development.

She said conspirators did not want to see Pakistan economically stable. She recalled that prices of flour, ghee and sugar remained stable during the five-year tenure of the PML-N government.

‘Power show in Lahore on Nawaz Sharif’s return’

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has planned to hold a public rally in Lahore on October 21 to welcome party supremo Nawaz Sharif upon his return to Pakistan from United Kingdom, ending his roughly four-year exile.

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif in an interaction with the media on Tuesday in London made the eagerly anticipated announcement of the three-time former premier’s return.

Sources said that party leadership has decided to hold a ‘massive’ rally at Minar-e-Pakistan on October 21. The party supreme will reach Minar-e-Pakistan from airport in a bullet proof container via rally.

In this connection, the PML-N leadership has directed all party workers across the country to reach Lahore on October 21.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif has summoned Maryam Nawaz to London immediately.

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.
