PML-N’s UK Women Wing supports Maryam Nawaz

LONDON: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz UK Women's Wing praised Maryam Nawaz for giving invaluable support to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and helping him formulate policies and strategies.

The thoughts were shared by Fozeen Gull, Chairperson of PMLN UK Women's Wing, while addressing a gathering of women workers at an event arranged to appreciate the contribution of Maryam Nawaz Sharif.

Four women-only events were held in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford, which were attended by a large number of female workers of PML-N. The events aimed to oragnise and activate female supporters of PML-N for campaigning and community activism.

Fozeen Gull said that Maryam Nawaz has been a victim of malicious propaganda unleashed by opponents of democracy and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, but she has stood steadfast and emerged stronger and more resolute.

Gull further said that organised campaigns have been run against her to target Nawaz Sharif but masses are fully aware of her contribution to Pakistan and respect her for the difference she had made.

Gull said that Maryam Nawaz has played a central role in almost all schemes – including education and health projects and gender and minority issues – which are now benefitting a large section of the society. She said that against the “avalanche of lies and misinformation, Maryam Nawaz helped steer the media message of PML-N positively, encountering negativity and showing reality to the people of Pakistan”.

Gull told the audience that Maryam Nawaz also deserves applause for recently organising a conference for women leaders in Islamabad.

At the events, numerous speakers commented on Maryam Nawaz’s skills and abilities to lead the party and nation in the future. Gull said the strategy by her enemies to use Panama papers to malign her has actually backfired and further honed her skills in public politics to plan and rebut the misinformation and propaganda being peddled by “the desperate lot who are using cheap tactics”.

Thousands of Pakistani women overseas were ready to support Maryam Nawaz and her future plans, added Gull.
