Maryam to hold protest rallies across country
LAHORE: PML-N vice-president Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday announced launch of protest rallies across the country from July 21 for justice for her father, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, rule of law and freedom of expression.
“Insha Allah I shall be leading protest rallies across Pakistan that will not only ask for justice for Nawaz Sharif but demand rule of law, freedom of expression, end to manipulation of the entire system to punish public representatives, stealing people’s mandate, imposition of the selected,” said Maryam on Twitter.
She said every Pakistani who wished to live in a free, democratic and just Pakistan must join (her campaign).
Talking to Dawn, PML-N information secretary Marriyum Auranzeb said Marayam Bibi would lead protest rallies from Faisalabad on coming Sunday. “The people of Pakistan will come out for rule of law. There has been no legal and moral justification to keep Nawaz Sharif in jail after the removal of the accountability judge (Arshad Malik) for his confession that he had been ‘pressurised and blackmailed’ to convict the former premier in the Al-Azizia reference,” she said.
To a question about media censorship regarding the coverage of Maryam Nawaz’s rallies, Ms Auranzeb said: “Even the Imran Khan government shuts the whole country out of fear of her taking to streets, she will lead huge rallies.”
On July 7, Maryam had led a rally from Jati Umra Lahore to Mandi Bahauddin on whose coverage the PML-N said some of the private news channels were blocked.

Is Maryam Elected Vice president of her party democratically? they talk about democracy for common people but not for themselves.
Please take your huge rally across Wagah border and never come back.
When our leaders are in power they conveniently forget these very same high principles they so loudly claim to be fighting for .....
Ask the average man woman or child what justice and life you carved out for them when compared to your own, enjoy your lonely March.
For the first time in decades Pakistan is free and democratic from the status Que of inherited rights to rule, What gives the children of a political party leaders the right to be at the helm? It's not democracy, it a monarchy. What experience or accomplishments do they bring to the table, other then being born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
A long walk back to London.
We are sick and tired of hearing about protest rallies. Bring it on, woman! Let's get this over with. Oh and while you are at it ask the PPP twerp to join you too.
Maryam who?
... She will not carry that off very well.
She is a part of corruption and must be put in jail.
What happened to Maryam's hunger strike? There is plenty of food in rallies hence rallies are easy option.
