File photo: ReutersIslamabad: Pakistan’s ousted premier Nawaz Sharif will travel to Lahore from Islamabad via the famous Grand Trunk (GT) Road next week in a bid to show his popularity among the people. After the verdict, Sharif went to Murree and stayed there for about a week and then returned to Islamabad. Encouraged by the support, he changed his plan and decided to travel by road to Lahore next week. Another reason for changing the day and route for travelling to Lahore was the insistence of his workers to address rallies at main cities along the GT Road. Sharif’s spokesman Asif Kirmani said that the former premier would embark on his journey from Islamabad to Lahore via the GT Road on Wednesday at 9am.
