Former premier Nawaz Sharif, daughter depart for London
He will fly to London via Doha through foreign airline QR-629.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Former prime minister and president of PML-N, Nawaz Sharif departed for London on Tuesday from Lahore airport.
He will fly to London via Doha through Qatar Airways flight QR-629. Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz and granddaughter Mahnoor is also accompanying him.
The family will visit ailing Kulsoom Nawaz who is undergoing treatment for lymphoma at a London hospital.
Nawaz s departure came after an accountability court exempted Nawaz Sharif from appearance in hearings for a week and rejected the same plea of Maryam Nawaz while maintaining her exemption till December 15.
On the other hand, IHC rejected Nawaz Sharif’s pleas seeking merger of all three NAB references against him and directed accountability court to continue trial against the Sharif family.

Nawaz Sharif said, “No matter whatever verdict is announced by Islamabad High Court on unification of three NAB references, seek favorable decision on immunity from appearance plea.” He taunted that he would be disqualified in Imran Khan and Jehangir Tarin disqualification cases too.
SC disqualified Sharif from office in July over unreported sources of annual income of about $10,000, a salary the former premier denies ever receiving. The high court also ordered the NAB to investigate and conduct a trial into the Sharif family’s wider finances, including the London properties.
Sharif maintains control of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, which elected close ally Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as prime minister after Sharif was disqualified.
