Okay, guys – here’s the deal. We know that recently, the Avenfield corruption case against the Sharif family filed by the National Accountability Bureau reached a monumental decision, declaring the family to be guilty. With sentences to their name, Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have caused quite a stir on social media.
They were supposed to land today, and even that didn’t go smoothly. Their flight was delayed.

Emotions are running high on all sides.
Funny how PMLN supporters think it was Maryam and Nawaz’s “choice” to come back to Pakistan 😂 Ya Allah aqal dein inko.

Given the state of things, people are definitely worried about what’s going to go down. With the situation in Lahore as it currently is, plus the lack of signals, people don’t know what to think. Prayers seem to be the only option.
Even Jeremy McLellan is praying for Pakistan.
Please join me in saying a prayer for Pakistan. The former PM is landing in the next hour to go to jail, the elections are in two weeks, and several bomb blasts have recently targeted election rallies. Things could get very bad very fast.

As per reports that have just come in, Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have been arrested.
