The Punjab CM, however, added that he will hold a detailed media talk on the Saudi visit soon. The younger Sharif said that Saudi Arabia was one of the most friendly countries towards Pakistan and had always trusted the country blindly. Sources, however, informed Pakistan Today that during the visit, Shehbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif were treated differently by the Saudi royal family as King Salman looked unhappy with Nawaz Sharif’s anti-army campaign, launched following the court verdict against him. According to sources, Saudi regime had also downgraded the protocol to Nawaz Sharif during his stay, which was a discreet message for the ousted premier. The sources said that due to the downgraded protocol, Nawaz Sharif had to travel on Saudi airline.
