It is anticipated that Nawaz Sharif will observe Eidul Fitr in Saudi Arabia, following which he is likely to proceed to London for a medical examination. However, the exact departure date for his journey to Saudi Arabia remains undecided.
Sources reveal that the delay in Nawaz Sharif’s departure to Saudi Arabia is attributed to the ongoing Senate general election and the illness of Hassan Nawaz’s father-in-law.
In a related development, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is also purportedly planning a trip to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah during the final days of Ramazan.
