SWABI, Aug 28: Swabi district president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Iftikhar Ahmed Khan has said that former prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and former chief minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif will land at the Lahore airport before Sept 10.

He was briefing journalists after talking by telephone to Mian Nawaz Sharif here on Tuesday. PML-N leaders Ismail Jan and Saeed Abdul Bacha were present on the occasion.

Earlier, the district leadership of the PML-N had requested Nawaz Sharif to land first at the Peshawar airport.

“The true Leaguers should get united under the banner of PML-N and all its workers should start preparing for the holding of a fair and transparent election in the country,” Mr Khan quoted Nawaz Sharif as saying.

He said the PML-N did not believe in politics of compromises on issues of vital interest.

He said that any deal at this critical juncture in the country’s history to prolong the rule of the present unconstitutional regime would be against the supreme national interest.
