Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz is formally resuming her political activities on Sunday (today), to play her role in the country's political scene. Maryam, who was keeping mum after the death of her mother and conviction of Nawaz Sharif in a reference, would attend an Iftar reception hosted by Bilwala Bhutto Zardari in Islamabad. Other senior leaders of the opposition parties have also been invited in this dinner. PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb confirmed that a PML-N delegation led by Maryam Nawaz would attend Sunday's Iftar dinner to be hosted by the PPP chairman.
The PML-N delegation would include Opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz and other senior party leaders.
The PML-N has also called a party meeting on Monday (May 20) that would be attended by Maryam Nawaz. This would be her first meeting after her appointment as the PML-N vice president. In the absence of PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif, who is in London for the last few weeks in connection with his treatment, former prime minister and senior vice president Shahid Khaqqan Abbasi would chair the meeting which would deliberate upon the future course of action including the launch of a protest campaign against the PTI government. In the wake of the country's grim economic situation, the PML-N is mulling to launch a movement against the government. PML-N senior leader Senator Pervaiz Rashid said that participation of Maryam Nawaz in Monday's meeting would mark her maiden formal presence in a top-level party session.
In the meeting, the PML-N discussion would be held in the light of the instructions of Nawaz Sharif, who asked the party leaders to build up their interactions with other opposition parties at a tough time Pakistan is confronted with.
Maryam Nawaz faced jail with courage and never voiced even a minor complaint about the treatment she was extended. She was only one who actually knows the precise thinking and mind of the party's real driving force - Nawaz Sharif - because she had been accompanying him during agitation, in jail and elsewhere.
