Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Monday absolved the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government in Sindh of the “charge” of the arrest of her husband and party leader Captain (r) Safdar Awan, saying she “never thought for a moment” that the provincial authorities were behind the move.
Awan was arrested early Mmorning for slogan-mongering inside the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah a day earlier.
Maryam held a press conference in the evening to narrate the arrest as it took place. She was accompanied by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
She started by saying: “We reached home late after the jalsa. We were sleeping when early in the morning I thought I heard someone’s door being knocked on loudly. I woke up my husband and said the loud knocks were on our door.”
