A video of PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz offering her seat to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as a sign of respect is winning the hearts of PML-N supporters.
Sunday, Maryam Nawaz addressed a workers’ convention in Rawalpindi, flanked by senior PML-N leaders, including Shahid Khaqan Abbasi who is believed to be unhappy with Maryam Nawaz’s recent promotion to the party’s top rank.
Former prime minister and PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi even said that he would quit if Maryam was awarded the party’s presidency. In an interview with a television, Abbasi said that his leader is Nawaz Sharif, if Maryam Nawaz is elevated to the PML-N’s top office, he will consider remaining in the party’s fold or not.

On several occasions, it has been reported that Maryam Nawaz has met with Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to clear any reservations. She has even said that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is like an elder brother to her and she will continue to seek guidance from her seniors.
During the convention, Maryam Nawaz invited Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on stage and insisted he take her seat at the center while she herself sat on a smaller chair on the side, thus publicly dispelling the impression of any bad blood between her and Shahid Khaqan.

Addressing the workers convention in Rawalpindi, PML-N senior vice president Maryam Nawaz said that judges named in the audio leak should have “moral courage” to resign from their post. She said the entire judiciary was not lopsided but there were only some judges in the judiciary who were allegedly biased.
“Imran Khan is looking to get support from the judiciary to come back to power after failing to get support from the establishment,” Maryam Nawaz alleged.
Maryam Nawaz targeted the superior judiciary days after an audio clip surfaced featuring conversations between former Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi and a judge of the top court. This clip invited strong criticism from superior bar councils and also prompted a meeting of the SC judges to take stock of the situation.
