Senior leaders and legal brains in the party had been deliberating for the past few days over the timing of Mr Sharifs return and the cases he is facing in Pakistan . If all went as per the plan the sources said the threetime premier would land in Islamabad that is after securing bail from the IHC where he would address a public rally at Parade Ground .
The scions of the Sharif family Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz would join hands to mobilise workers across Punjab to make a historic rally to be addressed by Nawaz Sharif according to the plan . However there was a possibility of lastminute changes to this plan and Mr Sharif might arrive in Lahore and address a crowd at a public gathering .
The PMLN circles believe that Mr Sharif will only return to the country once he gets relief in cases faced by him in Pakistan. He was serving a sevenyear imprisonment at Lahores Kot Lakhpat jail in the AlAzizia Mills reference before he was allowed to proceed to London on medical grounds .
The delay in his return shows that still some assurances are required before he books his return ticket a source said . The possible delay in elections until February or March would provide more time to the elder Sharif to settle his cases in Pakistan would provide him with more time for the elder Nawaz Nawaz .
He said I wish to go back to Pakistan soon. Meanwhile Shebaz Sharif said that his month tenure as premier was the toughest time in his own tenure was the ‘toughest time in my life. I only thought about the [Pakistani] tenure was to be the toughest.
