Sharif family evicted from Sarwar Palace in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi government has evacuated Sarwar Palace in which former prime minister Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif was living, and which was given to him by the Saudi government when he went into exile for 10 years in a deal after President Pervez Musharraf took over the reigns of the Pakistani government in 1999.

Due to the evacuation, some 20 servants who were working for the Sharif family at Sarwar Palace have lost their jobs and are looking for other jobs in Saudi Arabia. Nawaz Sharif, who had been living in exile under a deal in Saudi Arabia for the last 7 years, had applied for a British visa so that he could travel to the UK for his son Hasan Nawaz’s treatment.

Nawaz Sharif left for London 9 months ago on the condition that he would not take part in any politics and would soon return to Saudi Arabia. However, in defiance of the condition, he got an extension on his UK visa and is also participating in politics – a move that has irked the Saudi government. Infuriated by Nawaz Sharif’s defiance, the Saudi government has taken back all facilities granted to him and has also evacuated the Sarwar Palace. Nawaz Sharif’s mother and other family members will now live with Nawaz’s brother Abbas Sharif at his house in Madinah. Nawaz Sharif’s son-in-law, Captain Safdar, has also left for London.
