Source­s say party leader­ship discus­sed matter of Hamza's arrest­LAHORE: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif and his son Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Hamza Shehbaz met with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif at Jati Umra on Sunday. The efforts to arrest Hamza were brought to a halt on Saturday with the Lahore High Court gave Hamza protective bail till Monday. However, the anti-corruption watchdog is confident of having enough evidence against Hamza that arrest cannot be ruled out. Besides other members of the family, Maryam Nawaz was also present at the family lunch in which the overall political and financial situation of the country was discussed. It is pertinent to mention here that this was the first time any members of the Sharif family had tried to evade and resist arrest.
