ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday returned to Pakistan after a private visit to United Kingdom. The PM left for London last week for a medical check amid a debate in the country on Panama Papers, with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf threatening to mount a protest march on Raiwind.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and Advisor Tariq Fatmi received the prime minister at the airport, according to Geo News.
The prime Minister is expected to chair a meeting of federal ministers and leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-N tonight to discuss the issue of inquiry commission on Panama Papers.
Before PM's departure to London, opposition lawmaker Aitzaz Ahsan had claimed that the premier was heading to London to present himself in the court of Zardari. However, a spokesman for the prime minister had rejected the claim.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan says he would launch a protest movement if a an independent inquiry commission was not formed to probe the offshore business interests of the prime minister's family.
