The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), in a tweet, shared that during the visit Hamza also met Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervaiz Elahi and Hussain’s son Chaudhry Salik Hussain.
“Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain is a senior politician of the country and a very fine man. I pray for his complete recovery,” Hamza was quoted as saying by his party.
ہسپتال میں چوہدری شجاعت حسین کے صاحبزادے چوہدری سالک حسین سے بھی حمزہ شہباز شریف کی بات چیت ہوئی
چوہدری شجاعت حسین ملک کے سینئر سیاستدان اور نہایت نفیس انسان ہیں۔
اللّٰہ تعالیٰ کے حضور چوہدری شجاعت حسین صاحب کی مکمل صحت یابی اور تندرستی کیلئے دعا گو ہوں۔

The visit comes at a time when PML-Q, an ally of PTI at the centre and Punjab, has expressed its reservations against the ruling party.
In a tweet on November 14, Elahi admitted that it was becoming “difficult to continue with the government.”
After hinting at parting ways with the PTI, Elahi later decided to give more time to the Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar-led PTI government in Punjab on Monday.
According to details, a majority of the leaders present in PML-Q’s parliamentary committee meeting agreed to federal minister Moonis Elahi’s suggestion of giving more time to the Punjab government to fulfil its promises and improve its working relationship with the party.
However, some of the leaders favoured the suggestion put forward by Federal Minister Tahir Bashir Cheema to leave the provincial government immediately.
But taking into account the suggestions of the majority of leaders, Elahi went with the majority and gave extra time to the PTI and CM Buzdar in Punjab.
