Maryam Nawaz's son's nikkah to be held on Aug 22 in London

PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif's grandson, Junaid Safdar, will be tying the knot later this month in London, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif announced on Twitter on Wednesday.

The PML-N leader, while posting a card on the micro-blogging website, shared her son Junaid's nikkah will take place in the UK with Ayesha Saif-ur-Rehman on August 22. However, she also made a point to announce that she won't be able to participate in the event.

"My son Junaid’s nikah with Ayesha Saif-ur-Rahman Khan will take place in London on 22nd August Insha’Allah," the PML-N leader wrote. "Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the ceremony owing to blatant victimisation, bogus cases and my name on ECL."

She further added, "I was in jail when my beloved mother passed away and now I won’t be able to share my son’s happiness, but, I will not make any request to this government for travel abroad. I leave the matter to Almighty Allah."

Earlier this month, Maryam announced she had been tested positive for Covid-19.
