LONDON: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has decided to return home from London, where he had been staying due to treatment of his wife Kulsoom Nawaz, to appear before an accountability court in a reference on Tuesday.
The former prime minister has left for airport from his residence. He will reach home via PIA’s flight PK-786 on Monday morning.
Speaking to media before leaving for the airport, the former prime minister questioned why he was punished for 'Iqama' in the Panama case?
He reiterated that he had neither committed any corruption nor received any kickbacks or commission.
Earlier, the former prime minister took the decision to return home during a meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the sources said.
Some party leaders had advised the former prime minister not to appear before the NAB but he decided against that idea, the sources maintained.
After returning home, Nawaz would convene a high-level meeting of PML-N.
The Punjab chief minister would return home according to his schedule between Sept 28 and 30 while Maryam Nawaz, Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz would stay there with their ailing mother.
