Hussain Nawaz called his father Nawaz Sharif’s alleged video of visiting a factory, circulating on social media, four to five months old, adding that he took his father outside for a "change in environment" as he was not feeling well.

Later, in contrast to the medical reports, an alleged video of ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif surfaced on social media in which he was spotted visiting a factory with his son Hussain Nawaz and former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, along with other people.

On the question of a viral video, Hussain clarified and said that due to COVID-19 SOPs, factories in the United Kingdom (UK) are understaffed.

Hussain further added that visiting someone’s factory is not a sin and Nawaz Sharif went out for just two hours.

Hussain Nawaz also lashed out at the incumbent government over the leaked video of PML-N supremo Nawaz, asking why the government did not bring this video to the media before.

The government has not contacted anyone in London to inquire about Nawaz Sharif’s health condition, he added.

Regarding Nawaz Sharif's medical treatment in London, Hussain stated that currently he is under medical treatment and it will be completed when physicians find improvement in his health.

Hussain categorically said "no to compromising on Nawaz Sharif’s health" till the treatment is completed, adding that, "after doctors’ medical advice, we don’t need to send any reports now."

The doctor, who has given his medical advice regarding Nawaz Sharif’s health, has a good reputation, he added.
