Former Prime Minister and leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif, has emphasized that Pakistan cannot progress until all those involved in the alleged conspiracy against his government in 2017 are held accountable.

In a meeting in London with his brother, former Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, and his daughter Maryam Nawaz, along with other party leaders, Nawaz Sharif characterized the 2017 conspiracy as detrimental to Pakistan, introducing what he called a group of "swindlers" to the nation.

Nawaz Sharif reiterated his criticism of key figures, including former army chief General Bajwa, former ISI chief Gen Faiz Hameed, former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, Justice Azmat Saeed, and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, labeling them as "culprits of Pakistan."

Nawaz Sharif's assertion that Pakistan's progress is hindered until those allegedly involved in the conspiracy are brought to justice has added complexity to the already intricate political landscape in the country. His remarks have triggered discussions about the legal consequences and potential repercussions of these accusations.

Nevertheless, the PML-N leadership has chosen not to disclose the reasons behind Shehbaz Sharif's sudden departure to London shortly after his return to Pakistan. This unanticipated move has led to speculations about a possible change in Nawaz Sharif's travel plans, leaving many inside and outside the party questioning the true purpose of this unplanned meeting.

Party leaders in Lahore have attempted to quell speculations by affirming that there have been no alterations to Nawaz Sharif's planned return to Pakistan on October 21. They maintain that preparations to welcome their leader are proceeding as scheduled.

However, some party insiders have raised concerns and speculations about Shehbaz Sharif's quick return to London. One Member of the National Assembly (MNA) from Punjab suggested that Shehbaz might have left to convey a message from influential entities within Pakistan's power structure, though no official confirmation of such communication has been provided.

Another party leader speculated that the urgency of the London meeting might be linked to the PML-N's legal strategy, potentially involving seeking legal remedies in light of the appointment of a new chief justice and a possible willingness of the establishment to engage in reconciliation.

Further complicating the situation, there have been rumors of former PML-N members considering the formation of a new political party, adding to the intrigue surrounding the party's internal dynamics.
