ISLAMABAD: In an apparent change of plan, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif is expected to land at Islamabad International Airport instead of Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport, as per legal sources in the party familiar with the development.
The former prime minister will likely land in Islamabad instead of Lahore and subsequently appear before the Islamabad High Court (IHC). Consultations regarding Nawaz’s arrival in Islamabad are final, they said.
The sources said Nawaz will land in Islamabad on FlyDubai flight FZ-4525 AT 1pm.
“The appeals {in cases} are pending in IHC where Nawaz Sharif would surrender and plead suspension of sentence in IHC,” the legal team sources claimed.
Meanwhile, the PML-N has cancelled an event it had planned to launch an anthem regarding the return of party supremo Nawaz Sharif.
The event has been cancelled in view of Israel’s gruesome rocket attack on a Gaza hospital that killed more than 500 people.
PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif was scheduled to launch the new party anthem.
