LAHORE: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif accompanied by his supporters reached Kot Lakhpat on Tuesday as his six-week bail in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference expires.

While travelling to Kot Lakhpat, Nawaz Sharif was accompanied by his daughter Maryam and nephew Hamza Shehbaz, along with Mohammad Zubair, Talal Chaudhry and other party leaders.

Hundreds of PML-N workers turned up on the occasion to express solidarity with the party supremo and showered his vehicle with rose petals.

Maryam tweeted several videos of Nawaz’s loyalists, who gathered to express their support for their leader, and said the passion of party workers was unbelievable. Earlier, jail officials reached Jati Umra to escort the former prime minister to the prison.—INP
