Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Nawaz Sharif opted to skip the National Assembly’s Budget 2024-25 session.
He requested leave from the assembly secretariat, which was approved, marking the second time he has missed this session during Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s presentation. Currently, both houses of Parliament are actively engaged in discussions on the Budget 2024-25.
Following Nawaz Sharif’s return as PML-N president, there has been renewed internal effort within the party to restore him to the position of Prime Minister, a role he has held on three previous occasions. Key leaders within PML-N have reportedly launched a campaign advocating for his return to the prime ministership, emphasizing his past experience and leadership qualities.
Recently, federal ministers from PML-N expressed their support for Nawaz Sharif’s candidacy for Prime Minister during a gathering in Islamabad, which also included foreign dignitaries. One minister articulated, “We believe Nawaz Sharif’s return as Prime Minister will positively impact the country’s situation.”
