LAHORE: PML-N President Nawaz Sharif left for London through a special plane on Sunday.

Sources said that the former prime minister left his Jati Umra residence for the old terminal of Allama Iqbal International Airport, where he boarded a special plane for London.

They said the elder Sharif will stay in London for about two weeks during which he will undergo a routine medical check-up.

It may be recalled that his medical check-up was scheduled earlier, but he returned home due to tensions between Pakistan and India.
