Be my guest: Maryam Nawaz Sharif invites Iffat Omar to Okara jalsa

Actor Iffat Omar has been invited by PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif to the Okara rally. In a Twitter exchange, the politician asked the Aye Musht-e-Khaak star to accompany her as her guest at the political rally. It all began when Iffat took a jibe at PTI Chairman and former Prime Minister, Imran Khan. 

"Jhoot Khan (Liar Khan)," the actor tweeted.

To this, the PML-N Vice President quote tweeted her stance and shared, "Iffat, come with me to Okara jalsa as my guest."

The actor, who is a hard critic of Prime Minister Imran Khan and the former government, previously shared she has been in deep pain after the former cricketer-turned-politician brought the country to its knees. However, Iffat in an old interview went on to clarify that just because she is highlighting flaws in the former government, doesn't mean she supports any other political party in the country.

"If I point out faults in the current government, that doesn't mean I support the opposition. If I'm calling out Imran Khan over his shortcomings, that doesn't mean I associate myself with any other political party," the actor said.

Speaking about why Pakistan doesn't seem to be headed in the right direction, she lamented, "If relevant departments keep interfering in other departments, we will never head towards success. We need pro-peace, we need education, we need science. In the next 30 years, technology will take over. Artificial intelligence is the new revolution."
