LONDON – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who was set to leave for Pakistan in the wee hours of Saturday, has extended his stay in Britain for a couple of days.
Reports in local media suggest Sharif's health deteriorated as the premier was supposed to leave for the airport to return to Pakistan.
Sharif's family also advised him not to travel with inferior health and the latter will now leave in a day or two.
Shehbaz visited his brother in London to share views on the appointment of the new Army chief. Sharif along with Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and others, who are in the British capital, exchanged views and took ‘guidance’ from party supremo Nawaz Sharif, who is living in self-imposed exile.
The top PML-N leaders besides discussing the appointment of new COAS, also discuss strategy to counter PTI’s long march.
