Several cases have been filed against ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz for holding a rally in Faisalabad without prior permission from the district administration, according to media reports.
On July 21, Maryam announced that she was holding a rally and protest in Faisalabad to gather support for her incarcerated father, however the administration had not given her permission to carry out the activity.
Local police stations registered cases under the loudspeaker and maintenance of public order acts.
Other members of the party who are accused in the case include former Sindh governor Mouhammad Zubair, Javed Latif, Talal Chaudhry, and others.
Punjab Information and Culture Minister Mian Aslam Iqbal said Maryam should ‘account for her corruption’ instead of leading political rallies.
The provincial minister also said the opposition wants to create unrest in the country.
“The PML-N has fallen victim to its own contradictory statements and half of its leadership wants to strike a deal while the remaining wants to stage a protest,” he said. “With each passing day, PML-N workers are also deserting its leadership.”
