In a surprising development, security guards of Maryam Safdar, the daughter of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, denied Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair entry when he came to meet her at the residence of her son-in-law in Islamabad on Thursday.
According to Express News, the gatekeeper at Chaudhry Munir’s house in Islamabad refused to open the main gate for Zubair, who waited outside for some time and then left in a huff.
In a video clip aired on Express News, Governor Zubair could be seen standing along with his entourage outside the gate and trying unsuccessfully to hide his embarrassment.

Workers of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) also argued with the security staff at the gate to have the gate opened, but in vain.
Later, the deposed premier’s daughter intervened and reprimanded the security staff for not letting Governor Zubair in. She also called up Zubair and asked him to revisit the house.
The doors were finally opened for the governor when he came back again.
