Responding to criticism from the opposition regarding Maryam Nawaz wearing a police uniform, Azma Bokhari, the Provincial Information Minister and a leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), defended the action.
Bokhari pointed out that around the world, heads of state often wear uniforms to honor and show respect to their armed forces. She emphasized that Maryam Nawaz was being targeted by a group whose leader refuses to acknowledge even his own daughter.
Bokhari highlighted that Nawaz Sharif, during his tenure, also followed this tradition, and Maryam Nawaz is merely continuing it. She asserted that there’s no reason to overreact to the Chief Minister of Punjab’s actions.
Additionally, Bokhari stated that Maryam Nawaz’s choice to wear the police uniform has contributed to the honor and dignity of the Punjab Police.
