Islamabad: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who underwent an open-heart surgery in London last month, will return to Pakistan shortly after Eid, his daughter said on Thursday.
"Shortly after Eid, Insha'Allah," the Prime Minister's daughter Maryam Nawaz Sharif tweeted when someone asked when her father will return to Pakistan.
Sharif was discharged from hospital on June 6 after he underwent an open-heart surgery on May 31.
The 66-year-old PML-N leader had gone to London on May 22 for a regular medical checkup but was diagnosed with a heart complication by doctors who suggested surgery.This was Sharif's second cardiac procedure in five years.
Meanwhile, in a message to the people of Pakistan, Sharif asked his party leaders and workers not to organise any lavish welcome ceremony for him on his return.
The Prime Minister also said that "as soon as doctors would allow him to travel, he will be present among his own people."
"The holy month of Ramazan was ending, Eid-ul-Fitr was on its way, and people should prepare for Eid festivities according to their religious and cultural traditions," he said.
