Lahore: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Sunday left for London where his elder brother and Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif is due to undergo a open heart surgery on Tuesday.
The younger Sharif was accompanied by his son Hamza Shahbaz and is expected to return on Wednesday or Thursday.
On Saturday, the chief minister made an appeal on twitter, asking his countrymen to pray for Nawaz Sharif’s health and speedy recovery.
