When he left, the former prime minister's PIA ticket had a return date of January 4, 2018, according to a copy of his ticket obtained by Geo News. 

However, sources had said that is only because of a 'requirement' and the former premier may come back at any time before that. 

That was the second visit of the former premier to London after his wife was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer of lymph nodes) by British doctors on August 22.
