PM Nawaz returns to Pakistan after medical check-up

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif arrived in the country Tuesday night following his week-long visit in London for medical check-up.
According to news channels, Nawaz landed at the Noor Khan Airbase in Islamabad where he was received by federal ministers and a number of civil and military officers.
Earlier, talking to reporters before departing from London, Nawaz had said, “I feel much better now and with your prayers I hope it [my health] will remain well. I am going back to my country right now where I will once again start working for the revival of its economy.”
Taking a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan over his plans for staging a sit-in over Panama leaks issue, the prime minister said: “I hope he [Imran] desires Pakistan’s progress as much as every common Pakistani does.”
In response to a question, the prime minister said Pakistan needs peace and stability for its economic revival and the nation has rejected the negative politics.
“A large number of Pakistanis want peace and stability in the country instead of the politics of sit-ins,” said the PM.
Regarding an investigation into the Panama leaks, the prime minister claimed a commission will soon be formed to probe the allegations. “Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar has already disclosed the names of the people we have contacted to form the commission and the Supreme Court has also passed remarks on the issue,” he said.
Last week on April 13, Nawaz departed for London for a “routine medical checkup, which was repeatedly postponed due to his official engagements over the past few months”. Opposition parties severely criticised prime minister’s London visit at a time when demands were being made back home for his resignation following Panama Papers leaks.
