  "summary": "PML-N leader Hamza Shehbaz, son of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has reportedly taken on a \"new role\" in Islamabad by engaging with a group of incumbent and former party lawmakers at the PM House. In a meeting held on Thursday, Hamza discussed various issues affecting their respective constituencies with MNAs Saira Afzal Tarar, Jamal Shah Kakar, Hafizur Rehman Dreshak, former MNA Khurram Dastgir, Murtaza Javed Abbasi, and former senator Behramand Tangi. Additionally, Hamza chaired a meeting regarding the Prime Minister's Youth Programme. This development marks a shift in Hamza's political activities, as he had previously maintained a relatively low profile in provincial politics after the PML-N came to power, with the chief ministership of Punjab going to his cousin, Maryam Nawaz.",
