Speaking to a private television channel in London, Ms Nawaz said: “The preparations to welcome Nawaz Sharif to the country are going on with great verve. We will give a great response to those who are doing propaganda regarding Nawaz Sharif’s return.”

Shehbaz Sharif rushed back to London merely hours after he returned to the country from the UK, a development that gave way to rumours regarding a possible change in travel plans of Nawaz Sharif.
Shehbaz Sharif – while talking to journalists – said that he returned to London on directions of Nawaz Sharif. “No change was made in return plan of PML-N supremo,” he added.
In response to a question, Shehbaz said he never visited Gujranwala and did not hold a meeting.

“Nawaz wants to address the masses’ problems by getting rid of the red-hot inflation and uplifting the country. The PML-N supremo faced the political vendetta against him with patience and bravery. Nawaz Sharif had to face punishment for saving the country from economic hardships,” Ms Nawaz added.Schooling the opponents, Ms Nawaz said, “The conspirators wanted to drag the country into an economic quagmire.”
In connection with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ms Nawaz said, “Only Nawaz Sharif had completed the programme with the international lender successfully. He took the country’s economic growth to 6.1 percent.”
“If the journey of development, which was started by Nawaz Sharif, continued, Today, the country could not have to face the crisis, and even the petrol price could remain stable,” Ms Nawaz maintained.
“During the tenure of Nawaz Sharif, the price of flour, ghee, and sugar remained stable. It was during his tenure that inflation dropped significantly and broke the 47-year-old record,” Ms Nawaz stated.
She was of the country that, apart from terrorism, there was a dire need to sanitise the country from “economic terrorism”.
