Nawaz Sharif’s homecoming: PML-N mandates return of all party members from abroad

LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has instructed all its members, including senators, former MNAs and MPAs, and ticket holders, to return back to Pakistan within three days, in view of the extensive preparations currently underway for the homecoming of the party supremo, Mian Nawaz Sharif, next month.

The instructions, mandating the return of all party members from abroad, were communicated by Rana Sanaullah, the president of the PML-N Punjab chapter, according to a statement issued here Monday.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to return to Pakistan on October 21 to spearhead the party’s election campaign for the next general elections slated for the final week of January 2024.

Interacting with media in London today (Monday), PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif reiterated that there had been no change in the planned date for Nawaz Sharif's return to Pakistan. He said the party supremo would be given an historic welcome, reconfirming that he would touch down in Lahore on October 21 (Satuday). 

Shehbaz Sharif also requested his party members and office-bearers to pursue their plans for travelling abroad after October 21 in order to offer their undivided attention to the preparations being made to welcome the "party Quaid" back to Pakistan. 

Before Nawaz Sharif's return, the PML-N has decided to hold seven processions in Lahore to mobilise the public in welcoming the three-time prime minister back to Pakistan. These gatherings will be addressed by both Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz Sharif.    

Rana Sanaullah said that all senators, members and ticket holders who were currently abroad should return home within three days, to devote their full attention and efforts to mobilise the public in welcoming Nawaz Sharif back to Pakistan.

The former interior minister advised all party members against traveling abroad before October 21, adding that those reaching London to meet the party head should also cancel their further engagements to spare time for public mobilisation in their constituencies.

Sanaullah also directed that after completing the responsibilities assigned in the organisational meeting on September 18, all party members and office-bearers must submit the reports to the Punjab president and the party office.
