Following her historic election as Punjab’s first female chief minister, a video of Maryam Nawaz and Uzma Kardar became a social media sensation. In it, Nawaz detaches Kardar’s hand from her shoulder post-embrace.
This incident occurred at Lahore’s Governor House, marking Nawaz’s victory against her PTI opponent, Rana Aftab.
Kardar later addressed the online buzz, attributing Nawaz’s gesture to her greasy hand from eating halwa puri. She admitted her error and empathized with Nawaz’s response.
Despite the misunderstanding, Kardar highlighted Nawaz’s ongoing support, including party ticket allocation and countering critics with humour.
