KARACHI: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar chanted political slogans and urged people to join him, while on a visit to the Quaid’s mauseoleum.
According to the details, Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar made PML-N workers raise political slogans, ‘vote ko izzat do’ (honour the vote) when his wife PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz reached at the Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum to offer fateha.
Earlier, the mausoleum’s administration had told the PML-N leadership that only six vehicles will be allowed to enter the premises. However, Maryam Nawaz took a large number of party activists along with her.
The move was met by a fierce reaction by the PTI-led federal government representatives who not only demanded an apology, but approached the police, asking them to initiate legal action.
Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Haider Zaidi said that the behaviour was just not acceptable. “The sanctity of Quaid’s Mazar has been disrespected by these criminals masquerading as politicians,” he wrote.
