PM reaches Saudi Arabia; to return on June 30 via London

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, along with his family members, reached Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Upon his arrival, the premier was received by Deputy Governor of the Makkah region.

Sources said the premier and his family travelled on a commercial airliner in what has been dubbed a ‘private’ visit.

The premier is expected to perform Umrah in Makkah, and then proceed to Medina to visit Masjid-e-Nabvi. The Sharif family usually spends the last 10 days of Ramazan in the Holy Cities.

A meeting of the prime minister with Saudi King Salman bin Abdul al-Aziz cannot be ruled out, sources said further.

The on June 25, the prime minister is expected to go to London for a medical checkup. On May 31 last year, the premier underwent a heart surgery in London. In that visit, Sharif spent almost 50 days out of the country while the Panama crisis was brewing at home.

His present trip is also being taken under somewhat similar circumstances as the Supreme Court-appointed Panama case Joint Investigation Team (JIT) is probing the Sharif family’s international money trail.

On Thursday, the prime minister appeared before the JIT for three hours after being summoned to answer questions and record his statement.

He is expected to return to the country on June 30 while the investigators are expected to submit their probe report to the Supreme Court on July 7.

Meanwhile, President Mamnoon Hussain, who is already in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah and spend the last days of Ramazan in the Holy Cities, met King Salman and discussed matters of mutual interest.

The PM, who is supposed to be the father of the poor nation is taking 2 weeks rest. Just like is took for 40days+ rest in London with a medical excuse when he was exposed in the Panama papers. Imagine if Trump or Modi went to London for 40 days and left all decision making power to their daughter, just like Nawaz gave Maryam the power. Cleary Godfather doesn't give two craps about the country and its people. Sad.

Wouldn't it save money and make our leaders happy if we just moved the capital to London or Dubai?

Why are people like Imran Khan so silent on such dereliction of duty? With the country beset with so many problems, under attack on so many fronts, shouldn't the PM be doing double time in keeping track of issues and ensuring problems are being solved, rather than making expensive foreign visits?
