Islamabad, Oct 9: With PML-N supermo set to return by Oct 21st, his homecoming logistics are through a commercial jet, while his house in Raiwand would ‘likely’ to be a declared as sub-jail.
“We have booked a complete commercial jet leaving aside a few sets rests all (seats) are with us (PML-N), “ a senior PMLa-N party leader informed PrideNews on Monday.
Sharif is set to arrive at Lahore Aiport from London via a commercial jetliner.
“His home coming will be historic, and PTI will see a progressive Nawaz this time not a revengeful one,” remarked a jubilant PML-N leader.
The elder Sharif had left for London in 2019 in the middle of his seven-year jail term on medical grounds. The Lahore High Court had granted an approval to the three times ex-premier to travel abroad initially for a period of four weeks, extendable on the basis of medical reports.
Sharif has been facing multiple graft charges which some believes was politically motivated and fabricated in some cases.
Sharif was originally sent to jail by former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, now surrounded by controversies, on shady grounds that despite being Premier Nawaz Sharif was getting salary from his son having a work visa of a Gulf country.
Though, at the time of the decision former primer Imran Khan, being jailed for selling state gifts, was in supreme power, and cashed on this judgment for last many years declaring Nawaz Sharif as corrupt – a statement that never proved true to this date.
On the other side of isle while landing in Lahore, upon Sharif’s return to home, looking at the legal side “his Raiwand Farmhouse will likely to be declared as Sub-jail,” remarked a senior official at the Federal government, not allowed to speak to press.
Asked under what pretext Sharif would be kept at home,: “His (Sharif) term is still not over.”
To a question that if superior courts gave him a chance to stay free, the official added: “ The government has no issues with Nawaz Sharif staying free since if courts allow him to stay on bail or set home free why will we (government) bar his free movement.”
