She was addressing an event organized by the PMLN to address PMLN workers in London. Her farther Nawaz Sharif was also present in the meeting. Nawaz, addressing PML-N workers, expressed optimism about Pakistan’s future, attributing progress to the hard work of his brother, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Maryam.
In her press talk, Maryam said that there is no overnight solution to tackle smog. It will take years to deal with the issue. She added that under her leadership, Punjab is progressing and inflation is coming down in the province.
Meanwhile, Nawaz Sharif once again expressed his grievances for disqualifying him on the Panama Papers scandal. He named former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar and Justice Ejaz-ul-Ahsan. He blamed them for derailing Pakistan’s growth.
“You are responsible for the destruction of Pakistan. All of you played a dirty role. Pakistan could have become the ‘Asian Tiger’ today if it was not for what you did. You did a huge injustice to Pakistan, for your selfish motives,” he asserted.
