ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is likely to return to Pakistan after Eidul Fitr, as he plans to spend the last ten days of Ramazan in Makkah and Madina, sources said.

“Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who has shifted to his residence from the hospital after successful open heart surgery in London, intends to perform Umrah and offer prayers of thanks for recovery from illness,” a source close to the Sharif family told Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.

He said that the PM has expressed his intention to stop by in Saudi Arabia on his way back from London, but all this is subject to the clearance from his doctors.

Sources said that the prime minister is recovering fast and hopefully he will be allowed to travel in week or two.

Sources told that the PM is recovering fast and hopefully he will be allowed to travel in a week or two. “The other reason of not coming to Pakistan directly and proceeding to Saudi Arabia is that the premier wants to spend remaining days of the Holy Month in the Kingdom and take rest there,” the source said.

Zaheer Ali | 8 years ago | Reply Paid PTI trolls telling lies to malign the PM. What a shame. Each of you deserve to hear similar comments about yourself or loved ones when they go through a major surgery.

Haji Atiya | 8 years ago | Reply @Paul: And you are either belittling the rigors of performing Umrah or know nothing of it. Its not your casual stroll in the park and would be considered quite demanding of a person who recently undergone such surgery, if that is what Nawaz Sharif actually had...

mirestan | 8 years ago | Reply This is a mirical of 2016. may be he tell the truth about his open heart surgery.

Voiceless Pakistani | 8 years ago | Reply Time to get all the sins like corruption, nepotism, lies, hypocrisy forgiven. How have we made this an easy tool of getting "all our sins" forgiven!!!

qaiser ahmed | 8 years ago | Reply Allah knows best. Performing Umrah is a pious act. Many people think, and I suspect you too, think it washes away your wrong doings. I don't believe it does until you repent and not do the same again. You, the record shows have not changed . You keep doing the same all over again.

Paul | 8 years ago | Reply @Aftab Aslam: You are belittling a major surgery that you have obviously never experienced. I had an open heart surgery last year. The doctors usually discharge you after a few days here in India. Of course, walking is laborious for the first few weeks and the sternum takes many months to heal, but it is not too difficult to spend a few days in another city as I too did after my surgery.

Aftab Aslam | 8 years ago | Reply Something isn't right here. Open heart surgery and then performing Umrah a few weeks later. We have no details on the nature of the operation, but I'm doubting it's as serious as being made out.

Acorn Guts | 8 years ago | Reply Our PM is a walking miracle!
