Special prayers were offered by people ahead of the prime minister's surgery. Sharif's staunch opponent and political rival, PTI chief Imran Khan, also wished him health and speedy recovery.
People from all over the world, including key world leaders and notable personalities, called the prime minister before the surgery to convey their well wishes.

Vikas Swarup, spokesman for India's External Affairs ministry, said on Twitter that Modi received a phone call from Nawaz Sharif, and that the Indian prime minister wished his Pakistani counterpart a speedy recovery.
