PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Saturday that party President Shehbaz Sharif, who was abroad to tend to his ailing brother former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, will return to Pakistan tonight.

The PML-N spokesperson made the announcement as quoted by the PML-N Twitter account.

“Opposition leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif will return to Pakistan tonight,” it said.

Speaking to a Private TV Channel, Marriyum said that the PML-N president had taken the decision due to the deteriorating condition of the coronavirus in Pakistan. 

Marriyum said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif will undergo a cardiac intervention surgery next week. She said that Shehbaz will arrive in Pakistan in a PIA flight. 

Sharif family sources revealed that Nawaz had asked Shehbaz to stay on help victims of the coronavirus and be among the masses during their time of need. 

The former Punjab chief minister is in London and is said to be receiving medical treatment. Shehbaz brought his brother Nawaz to London last year for medical treatment, after the former prime minister was allowed to fly abroad.
