Maryam Nawaz and CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif met after 6 long months during which his son Hamza Shahbaz Sharif was also present. It is being said that the meeting was a positive step to end the differences between the two families.
During this meeting Shahbaz Sharif advised Maryam Nawaz that the politics of confrontation with institutions is not beneficial for the party of the country. He advised her to refrain from such politics and requested her not to issue statements which may increase the problems.

Later Maryam Nawaz tweeted about the meeting criticizing how the media covered the meeting. She said it was a family visit during which she had good chat with her brothers Hamza & Suleman.
Had gone for salam to my Uncle’s where he most lovingly treated me to lavish afternoon tea. Surprised to see the spin given by media!

The division between the two families erupted after ex-PM Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by courts. During NA-120 elections it was believed that Hamza Shahbaz will run the election campaign but he suddenly left which indicated the differences.
