Nawaz Sharif lands in Pakistan after 4 years of exile

Nawaz Sharif returned home on Saturday on a special flight from Dubai after a four-year self-imposed exile in the UK to head his party and try to secure a record fourth term in the general elections expected to be held in January. The 73-year-old PML-N supremo flew in from Dubai to Islamabad on the chartered flight ‘Umeed-e-Pakistan’ along with family members and party leaders. His return comes at a time when the nation of 241 million people is experiencing the impact of a worst economic crisis.
