LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has rejected reports of a rift in Sharif family, emphasising his unrelenting support for his brother, ousted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
While speaking to assembly members on Friday night, Shehbaz clarified there is no conflict in the Sharif family.
“Those trying to create misunderstandings, note this: I will always stand with Nawaz Sharif,” he said, stressing that he has always been and will always be sincere with his brother.
He also warned against spreading of such rumours and negative politics.
Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir on Saturday said there are “no two opinions” about Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan. Nawaz will lead PML-N in 2018 general elections, he said.
Shehbaz Sharif has also left for London to attend a consultative meeting summoned by Nawaz Sharif.
The top leadership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), including Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, has also gathered in London for the meeting.
