LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif will leave for London today (Tuesday). According to reports, Shehbaz will spend three days in London where he will inquire after the health of former first lady Kulsoom Nawaz, wife of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif. Kulsoom, who recently underwent a throat surgery, is in London for treatment of lymphoma. The Punjab chief minister will also meet the local leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in London. In a statement released on Monday, Shehbaz lashed out at his opponents, saying those levelling baseless allegations and spreading lies have failed at every step. “Such people are against timely completion of development projects,” he added.
