London: Three years after Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s passport was returned as a result of a court order, the former prime minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif met her in London. When Maryam, the vice-president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), arrived in London on Thursday, her son Junaid Safdar and brother Hassan Nawaz Sharif met her there. In order to receive bail in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case in 2019, Maryam turned in her passport to the Lahore High Court. Only a few days after the Islamabad High Court vacated her conviction in the Avenfield properties case, she received her passport back. Soon after arriving in London, a picture on social media showed Maryam hugging her brother. Her visit to London marks the first time since she met her brothers Hussain and Hassan three years after the passing of their mother Kulsoom Nawaz in 2019 in London. The PML-N vice president is here for a month and is scheduled to return to Pakistan on November 6. Maryam will reportedly undergo a medical procedure during her visit and speculations are high that she and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan together. Nawaz Sharif, 72, who was convicted in the Avenfield properties case and sentenced to ten years in prison, has been in London since November 2019 after arriving here for a medical emergency. PML-N supporters on Thursday waited for the 48-year-old Maryam at Heathrow Airport’s arrival area but were met by arch-rival Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters who had gathered there to chant slogans against her. The PML-N vice president, however, left the airport via a different exit. Hundreds of PML-N supporters lined up outside the Avenfield House awaiting their leader’s arrival. Some played dhol while others danced and chanted Teri awaz, meri awaz (your voice, my voice) Maryam Nawaz and welcome, welcome. One worker distributed sweets, saying “we are celebrating the arrival of our leader.” Read all the **_Latest News_** _, _ **_Trending News_** _, _ **_Cricket News_** _, _ **_Bollywood News_** _, _ **_India News_** and **_Entertainment News_** here.
