LAHORE: Some social media users are overly perceptive, noticing every little detail about any noteworthy person or event. The same thing happened to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb this time.
The resemblance between Marriyum Aurangzeb’s outfits and the dresses Maryam Nawaz wore in the past was quickly noticed by one Twitterati. According to social media users, Aurangzeb wore Maryam Nawaz’s old baby blue dress and diamond jewelry which she wore at her daughter’s wedding.

The resemblance was first pointed out by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill on Twitter. However, he received heavy criticism for commenting on the matter.
Gill said that Maryam handed her “used clothes” to Marriyum and that the Sharif family treats its close members as “slaves”. He went on to say that Maryam “gets her clothes designed by expensive Pakistani and Indian designers while giving old clothes to Marriyum Aurangzeb”.
The tweet evoked sharp reactions from netizens and was later deleted by Gill. Journalist Benazir Shah tweeted saying: “It is troubling that the ruling party thinks Mr Gill is a good fit for any public office.”

Social media user, Saman Amjad, wrote about a student who refused to receive her degree from Gill at a convocation and said that she made the right decision as he is “illiterate”.
A student who refused to receive degree from this man, was right to large extent, bcz @SHABAZGIL did not deserve to be invited at the university’s convocation. He seems to be illeterate.

Another netizen, replying to Benazir Shah, wrote that it is not the ruling party but “PM Imran Khan himself” who thinks that Gill is a good fit for the office “to represent his true mindset”.
Ma’am..Not the ruling party BUT Mr Prime Minister himself think Mr Gill is good fit for this office to represent his true mind set…
