Dr Adnan checked up Nawaz Sharif and looked into some of his recent medical reports to ascertain the current status of his health. During the meeting, Shahbaz also discussed certain political issues with Nawaz and sought approval for some measures and conditions for supporting the proposed sit-in by opposition parties in Islamabad next week, led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
