LONDON: Junaid Safdar, son of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Central Vice President Maryam Nawaz has recently tied the knot in London.
Pictures of groom Junaid Safdar and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif have been surfacing on social media since Sunday evening. The wedding ceremony was held in a 5-star hotel in London.
Family members, including Nawaz Sharif and former finance minister Ishaq Dar, attended the marriage ceremony of Maryam Nawaz’s son. As can be seen in the pictures, Junaid Safdar is wearing a black suit.
Nawaz Sharif can also be seen with his grandson wearing a mask. Junaid Safdar married Ayesha Saif Khan. Maryam Nawaz and her husband Captain (retd) Safdar did not attend the wedding ceremony of their son.
Who is Ayesha Saif-ur-Rehman?
Ayesha Saif-ur-Rehman is the daughter of Saif-ur-Rehman who is a long-time ally of Nawaz Sharif. Her father Saif was the head of now-defunct Ehtesaab Bureau and was previously former NAB chairman.
He is currently living in Qatar with his family. In 2012, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) issued his red warrants and contacted Qatari government with help of Interpol to extradite Rehman to Pakistan. He is facing charges of doing covert operations as the chairman of Ehtesaab Bureau against his political opponents and keeping them under illegal detention
Both Ayesha Saif and Junaid Safdar know each other for some time as they have grown up together because their families have been on very close terms.
