Vawda considers responding to 'Buzdar 2’s servant’ insult

Former federal minister Faisal Vawda on Tuesday responded to comments made by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Uzma Bukhari, stating that he considers it beneath him to engage with what he referred to as a "servant" of Buzdar 2, a nickname he uses to refer to Maryam Nawaz, the newly elected Punjab chief minister from the PML-N.

“I consider it an insult to respond to Buzdar 2’s servant. If any credible individual raises a political query concerning Buzdar 2, I will certainly address it," Vawda conveyed via his official social media account, alongside an old video featuring Azma Bukhari.

On the content of the shared video, Vawda urged the PML-N leadership to pay attention to Azma's remarks within the footage.

“It is a matter of one-and-a-half years that the Hudabiya (Paper Mills case) and Ittefaq foundries case will be reopened. It is not my assertion, but that of the individual herself, levelling accusations against the PML-N leadership,” he elaborated.

On Monday, the former minister had strongly criticised Maryam Nawaz for adopting a disrespectful attitude towards a prominent women leader of PML-N, Uzma Kardar, during the provincial assembly session.

Vawda addressed Maryam Nawaz as “Buzdar 2”, saying: “Instead of learning a lesson from the political fall of Mian Sahib and fearing Allah, ‘Buzdar 2’ is showing arrogance and contempt. It's as if the US dollar has depreciated to 200 against the rupee, petrol is available for Rs150 a litre, and roti is selling for Rs5.

“This Buzdar 2 has been elected by only 98 votes. If the guardians of the law and Constitution open the ballot boxes, then she would only be able to show such attitude in her Raiwind palace and not in the Punjab Assembly," he further stated.
