Return of the Sharif`s
31 August, 2007
Former prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has announced that he along with brother Shahbaz Sharif will return to Pakistan on September 10 and advised President General Pervez Musharraf to hand over power to the Senate chairman forthwith and go home.
He said his entourage would land at Islamabad and then proceed to Lahore taking the GT road.
Nawaz said his party in consultation with the All Pakistan Democratic Movement (APDM) had decided that the time had now come for the exiled PML-N leadership to return home and launch a decisive struggle against what he called the eight-year dictatorship and pave the way for genuine and lasting democracy.
He said he was not afraid of what he said the empty threats of being arrested on landing or re-packed in a plane and sent to Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand, the government sources claim that Nawaz will not return despite his announcement as the Saudi leadership will not let Mr Sharif to violate the alleged deal under which he cannot return to the country for ten years.
Here are some questions
1)Will Nawaz return as per his announcement?
2)What will be the impact of his return on country’s
politics?
3)Where will Benazir stand after Nawaz`s return?
4)Is there a possibility of Martial Law being imposed if things get out of Government hand after his return?
