ISLAMABAD: Chief of PML-N Nawaz Sharif dashed to Dubai on Thursday and returned after a few hours.

Sources in his party confirmed that Mr Sharif had made a brief visit to Dubai to meet his daughter Asma Nawaz. He stayed in the UAE for a total of four hours, they said.

However, another source said Mr Sharif’s brief visit was a mystery because whenever he visited his daughter he stayed with her family for at least a couple of days. His wife, Kulsoom Nawaz, usually accompanies him during such visits.
