LONDON - Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani called on PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif here at his Park Lane apartment on Friday to enquire after his health and welfare following a heart surgery. The PML-N leader has been convalescing following a major heart surgery last month. The Prime Minister was in the British capital on a private visit in connection with the hospitalisation of his son Haider Gilani. In a brief chat with the media persons, Gilani said he had been in telephonic contact with Nawaz Sharif and wished to visit him personally to enquire after his health since he is himself in London. The two leaders met for more than an hour and discussed political and economic situation in the country. Pakistan High Commissioner to the UK Wajid Shamsul Hasan accompanied the Prime Minister. In response to a question, he said the case of a private TV channel is before the court so he could not comment but added that PEMRA has ended all the draconian laws pertaining to Press freedom and the media is vibrant and thriving in Pakistan. In response to another question on the young doctors strike, the PM said that both the federal and provincial governments took appriopriate steps to resolve the matter. Nawaz Sharif on his part expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister for paying him a visit. He said his son Hasan had called on Gilanis son on Thursday and enquired after his health. Nawaz said he would be returning to Pakistan soon and would have rather gone back much earlier had he not faced this surgery. He conveyed his thanks and gratitude to all those who prayed for his health and welfare.
