Shehbaz Sharif to depart for London on Tuesday

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif will depart for London tomorrow, sources informed on Monday. 

Shehbaz will spend three days in London where he will inquire into the health of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's wife, and his sister-in-law, Begum Kulsoom Nawaz. 

Kulsoom, who recently underwent a throat surgery and at present is residing at her son Hasan's residence, is in London for treatment of lymphoma. 

The Punjab chief minister will also meet the local leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in London. 

In a statement released on Monday, Shehbaz lashed out at the country's 'enemies', saying those levelling baseless allegations and spreading lies have failed at every step. 

"The people see your hollow claims," he said, adding that those spreading lies will continue to fail at every step. 

"These elements are against timely completion of development projects," he claimed further.
