Maryam Nawaz, the Chief Minister of Punjab, donned a police uniform to attend the passing-out ceremony of new officers today.
During the event, she inspected the parade and shared her enthusiasm for the ceremony, noting that she had been looking forward to it since her inauguration. She revealed that the Inspector General of Punjab Police had personally invited her to witness the graduation of female officers.
Maryam praised the dedication of the female officers, emphasizing that wearing the uniform underscored the profound responsibility it entails. Her appearance in police attire at the event drew significant attention and mixed reactions on social media, where some users criticised and mocked her.
Dr. Shahbaz Gill, a political commentator, offered a particularly pointed critique, linking Maryam’s appearance to her father’s known affinity for films, suggesting she was merely performing a role. He humorously cautioned her against extending her role-playing to other professions, like medicine. He made a jest about the potential of seeing her in a military uniform, highlighting the theatrical aspect of her participation in the ceremony.
