Maryam Nawaz, the chief minister of Punjab, has refused to apologize to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), stating that the spokesperson for her affiliated party should be the one to request forgiveness for disparaging Punjab’s flood relief efforts.
Why should I say I’m sorry? Protecting Punjab’s citizens, their honor, and their property is my duty. Maryam Nawaz declared that she would never apologize.
Following the PML-N and PPP’s verbal sparring, which started over flood compensation under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and heated up after the Punjab chief minister rejected the PPP’s objection to the controversial canal project on the Indus River, she made her comments.
