Former PM Nawaz Sharif faces a worst setback
Shares
"A proposal was made by the reconciliation group within the PMLN to stop return back of Nawaz Sharif. It is being reported in the media that a group is not supporting Nawaz Sharif's return, which is advocating for a conciliatory policy within the PML-N, is actively working to delay Nawaz Sharif's return.
However, Nawaz Sharif has refrained from giving an immediate response to this proposal. The reconciliatory group's position is that the general public, troubled by inflation and unemployment, is not very interested in Nawaz Sharif's return. Nawaz Sharif may face public backlash over the extreme inflation in 16 months of PDM government.
Instead, Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have initiated a public outreach campaign in Lahore to gauge the public's pulse. In these circumstances, expecting a grand reception for Nawaz Sharif from the public is not appropriate, especially since the date for the general elections has not been announced yet.
It is better for Nawaz Sharif to return closer to the election or after the announcement of its formal date. Another group within the party believes that preparations for Nawaz Sharif's return have already been made, and the party has been instructed to prepare for his reception.
If Nawaz Sharif's return is delayed, it will not have a significant impact on the public. Recently, Shahbaz Sharif, the President of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) and former Prime Minister, had stated that Nawaz Sharif would focus on resolving economic issues upon his return. The (N) League has always prioritized state over politics. He expressed these views during a meeting with Lahore and Punjab Traders Associations' representatives and delegates."
