A Little Background:
FAMILY FRIENDS FOR GENERATIONS
To be sure, both Jindals and Sharif family have been personal friends for generations with similar business interests in steel.
Nawaz Sharif ’s father Muhammad Sharif started his business empire in 1939 with a small steel mill — Ittefaq Ltd, which over the years has transformed itself into one of the largest steelmaking units there. Sugar is the other big Sharif family business comprising more than 24 factories that are currently managed by Nawaz Sharif ’s nephew Hamza and son. Incidentally, both were present to greet Modi on Friday at the Sharif residence on the outskirts of Lahore.
"They have been personal friends for at least two generations. It got cemented further in the past decade. Both families and even their kids know each other well and both have bases in London where they have met several times," said a friend of the Jindal family who did not want to be quoted.
Last May, Jindal hosted Sharif in his Delhi house for tea when the Pakistani PM was in India for the Modi swearing-in, an event that attracted him a lot of criticism from political rivals back home, most notably from Imran Khan, the former cricketer and chairman of the Tehreeke-Insaf party who castigated Sharif for having time to spare for the Indian business tycoon but not for the All Party Hurriyat Conference, which had also sought time with him.
STRATEGIC BUSINESS INTERESTS
Personal rapport apart, industry observers say strategic business interests too could be influencing a desire to play midwife to the incipient bonhomie.
A grouping of Indian steelmakers, called Afghan Iron & Steel Consortium (Afisco) that is led by state-run SAIL along with JSW, JSPL and Monnet Ispat, has been negotiating with the Pakistani government for right of way to transport iron ore by road from Hajigak iron ore deposits in Afghanistan’s Bamiyan province to Karachi, before it is shipped to ports in western and southern India. This is a much cheaper alternative than using Russia as a transit point and is the key to the commercial viability of these mining concessions. Using Iran could be an alternative, but steel industry officials say the Pakistan route is most economical from a cost perspective. Unless this issue is resolved, the memorandum of understanding signed between both sides will not move forward.
As per the agreement with the Afghan government, Afisco has to build a 2-mt steel plant in Afghanistan to be allowed the right to export iron ore from Hajigak mountains. The ferrous content of the ore is said to be in the high sixties, which is considered to be high quality.
The Indian consortium was selected as preferred bidder for three of the four iron ore blocks in Hajigak mines that hold about 1.8 billion tonne iron ore.
Sajjan’s younger brother Naveen Jindal runs Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL), which holds a 16 per cent stake in the Afisco consortium, identical to JSW Ispat. Their brother-in-law Sandeep Jajodia controls Monnet Ispat & Energy, which holds a 4 per cent stake in Afisco.

good wishes and best of luck. 
. We really need a research to understand that either nawaz was really working for pakistan or not OR there were some secret agenda. The research should be unbiased. I know just one thing that nawaz should have worked for pakistan steel mill to be profitable rather then working for his own itifaq Ltd or india's jindal family business.
