The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is set to gather a large number of workers and supporters to show solidarity with their leader Nawaz Sharif as he will return to Koth Lakhpat Jail in Lahore on Tuesday evening.
The party, through social media posts, announced on Monday that people’s affection and prayers would accompany the former prime minister to the prison.
Senator Asif Kirmani said that Nawaz is in high spirits despite deteriorating health, adding that the party stands united and strong under his leadership.
Govt's policies taking country towards 'economic enslavement'
According to the party’s announcement, workers and supporters are urged to gather at Shanghai Flyover near Ferozpur at 7pm tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the ousted prime minister's daughter Maryam Nawaz prayed for his health and long life in a Twitter message.
Maryam will lead the rally and accompany her father in his car tomorrow, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said in a statement.
Besides the mass gathering, the party has also decided to set up camps at different places of the city to express solidarity with their leader. The former prime minister, before returning to the jail, is also scheduled to meet party leaders.
PML-N says country made IMF’s colony
Nawaz, who was sentenced a 10-year jail term after being convicted for owning assets beyond income in the Avenfield reference, was released from the jail on March 27 after the Supreme Court had suspended his sentence in the Al-Azizia reference and granted him bail on medical grounds for six weeks.
Nawaz had undergone tests at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) after he reportedly fell sick under captivity in Adiala jail.
The ousted premier and his daughter Maryam were jailed on July 13 after an accountability court sentenced them to 10 and seven years, respectively, over properties in Britain which emerged in the wake of Panama Papers revelations.
