BAHAWALPUR:

Former senator of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chaudhry Saud Majeed claimed that party chief Nawaz Sharif was planning to return to the country during the holy month of Ramazan. The ex-Senator based his claim on a meeting he had with the former prime minister in London.

Majeed expressed his views while talking to media persons at the 'Meet the Press' program held at Bahawalpur Press Club on Wednesday.

"I visited the residence of Nawaz Sharif in London and held a meeting with him," he said, adding that Nawaz was likely to arrive in Pakistan just before Eidul Fitr. The former senator also credited Nawaz for putting the country on the track of development. "Credit goes to Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif for launching mega development projects, constructing motorways and making the country an economic power," he said.

The PML(N) ex-senator added that the country got rid of the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) program during Nawaz’s tenure from 2013-2018, also adding that the national exchequer had enough reserves and the economy was progressing during that time.

Responding to a question, Majeed said that PML(N) Senior Vice President and Chief Organizer Maryam Nawaz had been assigned tasks from her father to reorganize the party, mobilize the youth and activate the social media wing.
