Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif asked party leaders to refrain from hosting a grand welcome back event in his honor upon his return from London after Eidul Fitr.
In a statement, titled ‘The prime minister’s message to party workers and the people of Pakistan” Nawaz said, “I have come to know that you are planning to throw a grand reception upon my arrival,” he notes, but warns that “instead of planning festivities to celebrate my homecoming, in a few days the great occasion of Eid is coming, hence, you should concentrate on celebrating that with full religious and traditional fervour.”
In the message, the premier notes that it’s because of people’s love and good wishes that he had a successful ‘sensitive operation’ and is now fast recovering from it. “I fully appreciate the concern which you have shown for me, which is a great asset for the party as well.”
harif appreciated the tremendous amount of love and affection that workers had sent his way during his time in hospital.
