Lahore (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 20th September, 2018) Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif visited the grave of her late wife Begum Kulsoom Nawaz.
He offered Fateha and recited Quran on her grave.
Party workers and relatives have been coming at Jati Umra to condole the demise of Begum Kulsoom who died on September 11 following prolonged battle with throat cancer.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has announced to observe 'Youm-e-Tashakur' (Thanksgiving Day) after Ashura.
Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz will however not take part in any political activity until the Chehlum of late Begum Kulsoom Nawaz.
On the other hand, Maryam Nawaz has decided to enter parliamentary politics by contesting by-election from NA-127, Lahore. Maryam Nawaz had decided to contest from the same constituency before she was sentenced to jail in the Avenfield reference.
After Maryam’s arrest, covering candidate Ali Pervaiz Malik had contested the election from NA-127 and won.
He will now resign from his seat so Maryam Nawaz can contest the by-election.
