The Prime Minister is in Lahore since July 9 after he returned from London where he underwent a successful open heart surgery. His operation was carried out in the last week of May and remained in the UK for more than six weeks.
It was the 66-year-old’s second major cardiac medical procedure in five years.
The Prime Minister had left the country shortly after the so-called Panama Papers linked his family to a series of offshore companies.
The premier insists his family has done "nothing wrong", saying the claims had been investigated twice, decades ago, under the tenure of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf.
But the opposition has demanded his resignation after the leaked papers claimed his children owned London property through an offshore company.
Nawaz Sharif took power in a landslide May 2013 general election, for the third time since 1990.
