Former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, who is expected to leave the country to seek medical treatment, has instructed his brother, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, to continue to support JUI-F in its anti-government campaign.

It is expected that in this regard, Shehbaz will contact JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman over the telephone.

According to sources within the PML-N, the party supremo has formed a four-member committee which will continue to lend their support to the JUI-F chief. The four-member team is comprised of Ahsan Iqbal, Khwaja Asif, Khurram Dastagir and Rana Tanvir.

"All four have been instructed to ensure their presence on the container with Maulana," said the sources.
