ISLAMABAD, Feb 5: President of Pakistan Muslim League-N Shahbaz Sharif has decided to end his exile and return to the country next month.

This was claimed by Zahid Hussain Qureshi, the president of Shahbaz Sharif Force, while talking to Dawn during a protest rally in connection with the Kashmir Day here on Thursday.

Mr Qureshi stated that he had received a letter from the former Punjab chief minister in which he had expressed his desire to come to Pakistan in March. He said Shahbaz Sharif had asked the workers and the activists to be ready for a decisive movement against the present government.

He said Shahbaz Sharif was very optimistic that the people of Pakistan would soon get rid of the dictatorial rule. "Soon there would be a true people's representative government in the country," he quoted Mr Sharif as stating in the letter.
