Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has tasked his brother Shehbaz with clearing legal hurdles ahead of his return in October.

Reports said that Shehbaz will arrive in Pakistan on Thursday and hold a key meeting with the party’s legal team.

Meanwhile, Nawaz’s daughter, Maryam, has been given the task of making preparations to welcome the PMLN chief when he returns on October 21.

Shehbaz has already barred party leaders from leaving the country and told them to focus on helping prepare Nawaz’ s welcome.
