KARACHI: As Maryam Nawaz and her mother Begum Kulsoom left Islamabad for Lahore, the former prime minister’s daughter tweeted photographs from her official and verified Twitter account (@MaryamNSharif) and said: “Abu seeing us off as we leave for Lahore.....Entrusted my beloved to Allah...May Allah protect him from all evils. Baap sarhan de taaj (Your fathers are the crown of the family/head of the family) – Muhammad.”

Maryam and her mother reached the provincial capital a day before former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to leave for Lahore with a procession via the Grand Trunk Road.
