Islamabad, Oct 21: After a four-year self-imposed exile in the UK, Nawaz Sharif, the former prime minister of Pakistan, returned home on a special flight on Saturday to lead his party and attempt to win a record-breaking fourth term in the general elections that are anticipated to take place in January.The 73-year-old leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) took a chartered aircraft, “Umeed-e-Pakistan,” to Islamabad from Dubai.

The three-time former prime minister lamented Pakistan’s “extremely chaotic” state and gave reporters hope that his party was “competent” to get the financially strapped nation out of its current predicament while speaking to media at the airport in Dubai.After four years, I’m returning to Pakistan today, Sharif declared. I didn’t feel joyful when I was leaving Pakistan and travelling overseas, but I do now. After four years, I’m returning to Pakistan today, Sharif declared.The former prime minister went on to say that it would have been ideal if the nation’s circumstances had improved from 2017 to the present. Seeing the state of the nation makes me feel incredibly anxious and disappointed. The nation that had to advance is currently regressing both economically and politically. Sharif described the state of affairs as concerning but said that there was still hope and that we shouldn’t let it escape our control since we are capable of repairing the damage we caused. He said that since no one was willing to help us, the nation needed to get back on its feet.When I go back to Pakistan in those days, it hurts. We had said goodbye to the IMF, energy was inexpensive, the rupee was steady, jobs were available, roti cost Rs 4, a child from a low-income household could attend school, and medications were reasonably priced. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), according to Sharif, is the only legitimate electoral body with the right to determine when polls would take place.Any date announced by the ECP will be adhered to by all. Whatever the ECP says, that’s my top priority. Pakistan now has a fair ECP, and I think it will choose the best course of action for the election. Bemoaning the treatment he had received in the past, he claimed to be the one who had attended 150 court appearances.

He claimed that in addition to his brother Shehbaz Sharif and the former prime minister, bogus cases were also brought against former interior minister Rana Sanaullah Khan and PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi. I even mentioned before I left that I trust Allah (God) with everything, and I still do. When asked about the violence that took place on May 9 that was purportedly carried out by Imran Khan’s party, he grinned and stated, “We are the May 28 ones.” When asked about the violence that took place on May 9 that was purportedly carried out by Imran Khan’s party, he grinned and stated, “We are the May 28 ones.” On May 28, 1998, Pakistan carried out nuclear tests under the direction of Prime Minister Sharif at the time. In November 2019, after being granted four weeks of bail by a higher court, Sharif departed for London due to medical reasons. He had already completed half of his seven-year prison sentence for the Al-Azizia corruption case by that point.Due to his persistent absence from the procedures regarding appeals against the penalties, Sharif has been labelled a proclaimed criminal in the four years that have passed in the Al-Azizia and Avenfield corruption trials. His motions were not opposed by Pakistan’s anti-corruption agency, the National Accountability Bureau, and on Thursday the Islamabad High Court granted him protective bail until October 24 in both instances. In 2017, he resigned as prime minister of Pakistan after the Supreme Court permanently barred him from public office as a result of an investigation into his family’s riches following the 2016 Panama Papers leak.Sharif has continuously denied any misconduct and described the case as being driven by politics.
