In an interview on a Geo News programme, PM Sharif said that he will travel to London to meet his elder brother Nawaz as soon as the caretaker government took charge.
“Nawaz Sharif will come to Pakistan next month and will face the law and lead the election campaign,” Shehbaz Sharif said without giving the exact date of Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan who has been in self-imposed exile in London since November 2019 owing to health reasons.
