Maryam Nawaz was questioned by reporters why the face of her father, PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif, was printed on the packaging of Ramazan relief goods being distributed.

“The opposition is criticising this, calling it propaganda of Nawaz Sharif funded by the people’s money,” one reporter asked.

To this, Maryam replied: “Whose government is it in Punjab? Nawaz Sharif.”
