PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday met his son Hamza Shahbaz at Kot Lakhpat prison and discussed important issues. Shahbaz remained there for some time and had lunch together. Earlier on reaching Kot Lakhpat, the PML-N activists received Shahbaz and chanted slogans. Hamza Shahbaz has been ensnared in multiple accountability cases pertaining to alleged ownership of assets beyond his means and alleged involvement in corrupt practices.
