    London: In exile since 2019, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) supremo Nawaz Sharif is likely return to Pakistan, Geo News reported, adding that once back, he may chair the party’s parliamentary board for finalising candidates for the upcoming provincial elections in the country.

    According to Geo News, the country’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah made the remark on Sharif’s return while interacting with the press in London. “Few senior party leaders, including myself, should resign (as ministers) to mobilise our election campaign along with Nawaz Sharif,” the report quoted Sanaullah as saying.

    The buzz around Sharif’s return to Pakistan has gained ground amid the dissolution of the provincial assemblies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab, which were ruled by Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

    Geo News quoted Sanaullah as saying that Sharif is likely to address public meetings across the two Punjab provinces upon his return.

    Imran had to step down as Prime Minister in April last year after losing a no-confidence vote against him in the National Assembly. According to the Geo News report, Khan has since been stressing fresh elections in the country, claiming that early polls are the only solution to Pakistan’s ongoing economic and political crises.

    In another big revelation, Sanaullah claimed Pakistan’s former army chief, General (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-intelligence chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid have admitted to their ‘wrongs’ in office on Friday, Geo News claimed.

    “Nawaz Sharif’s stance has been clear: we were wronged. Now, the ones who wronged us have also admitted to their mistakes,” Geo News quoted Sanaullah as saying.

    In a separate conversation with media persons earlier in the day, the Interior minister blamed the former Army and intelligence chiefs for the current ‘mess’ in the country.

    “I Will Resign If Found…”, Says Pak PM Shahbaz Sharif On Allegations Of Involvement In The Attack On Imran Khan

    Shahbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, has stated that he is ready to resign if there is any evidence of the attack that would accuse him or the interior minister. Imran Khan’s claims were denied as baseless by Sharif. He said, “India is celebrating because the institution has been subjected to dirty and offensive attacks on social media,” according to reports.

    In a dramatic addition, the prime minister says that God would protect his reputation and that he is offended by Imran Khan’s accusations.

    Imran has been in turmoil for a very long period, and Pakistani politics have also been very turbulent. Imran was forced to resign as Pakistan’s prime minister a while back. Imran Khan was the target of gunfire in the interim. The injured man was Pakistan’s previous prime minister. During the Freedom Rally, Imran was the target of firing. In many different areas, there is a lot of pressure and rumour concerning who shot Imran that day. Imran Khan, however, has fueled new allegations that the Pakistani Prime Minister is responsible for the attack.

    In a press conference in Lahore, Shahbaz said, ‘I request the Chief Justice of Pakistan to form a full court commission including senior and junior judges. Chief Justice (Umar Atta) Bandyal, I request you to constitute a full court commission. Will also send you a letter about this and I hope you will consider this request. If you do not respond to my request, such complaints will come again. He also said that if Imran Khan gives proof that I or the Home Minister or an army officer is involved in the conspiracy, then I will not be the Prime Minister from that moment. He said, ‘I will resign.’
