Nawaz Sharif’s Stance on Animal Welfare at Rallies
PML-N leader Marriyum Aurangzeb conveyed Nawaz Sharif’s directive regarding using live animals at rallies. She tweeted that on Nawaz Sharif’s orders, a lion brought by a supporter was immediately returned. He emphasized that no real lion or any other animal should be brought to rallies in Pakistan. This decision was made after a lion was brought to a rally on Mohini Road, leading Nawaz Sharif to take immediate action for its return.
