LAHORE: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday is chairing a Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in Lahore.
The meeting is being attended by the party’s CEC members, where PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif’s arrest and the strategy for the by-polls scheduled for October 14 is being discussed.
This is the first formal party meeting that Nawaz is chairing since after his bail from Adiala Jail in September. The former premier, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Captain (r) Mohammad Safdar were released from Adiala prison on September 19 after the Islamabad High Court suspended their sentences in the Avenfield corruption reference.
Following this, on Saturday, an accountability court granted the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) a 10-day physical remand of Shehbaz Sharif, who was arrested by NAB a day earlier in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme case.
