Nawaz has ‘important meeting’ at Jeddah airport

The former prime minister skipped his flight from Jeddah to Dubai due to an ‘important meeting’ at the Saudi airport, sources said on Thursday.

However he sent his homecoming-journey companions to Dubai and, according to insiders, he flew to Dubai in the next flight.

The sources in the Sharif family said Nawaz Sharif had to wait for the meeting.

Nawaz will land at Islamabad airport on October 21 where he will hold a meeting with his legal team and then he will fly to Lahore, adding that he will fly to Lahore the same day.

Nawaz Sharif will most likely pay a visit the Data Darbar before making it to Minar-e-Pakistan where he will address his party members and supporters.

The three-time premier left Pakistan for London in November 2019, for his medical issues when he was serving a jail term over corruption. The Supreme Court disqualified for life the three-time prime minister in 2017. However, he denies any wrongdoing.
