Maryam Nawaz proud of father's decision to suspend husband Capt Safdar
Maryam Nawaz, who is also Captain Safdar’s wife, tweeted on the micro-blogging site that she was glad her father preferred justice and equality over family relations.
She said this negated the notion that PML-N is a family party, adding that no one is above the law and the party stands for the rule of law, justice and fairness.
I am glad that my father preferred justice & equity over familial relations. This is an unexampled step which negated the notion that PMLN is a family party or patronises favouritism. No one is above law. Justice & fairness must prevail. PMLN stands for rule of law.
Earlier on Saturday, facing threats of mass resignations from workers, Nawaz had issued a directive suspending the basic membership of Captain (retd) Safdar, who is the chief organiser of the party’s youth wing.
Maryam also spoke on behalf of her husband, tweeting that he had taken the action positively and vowed to abide by party rules and regulations, adding that the Sharifs keep politics and family matters separate.
I am also glad that Safdar has taken it positively and vows to abide by party rules and regulations. Thankfully, we as a family keep politics & family matters separate.
Reiterating on how proud she was of her father’s stance on the issue, Maryam said that there was no discrimination in the party when it came to taking action on disciplinary matters, including her own daughter.
Theres no discrimination when it comes 2 discipline, be it Nawaz Sharifs own daughter. Am proud of u father.

Capt.has to obey the order by the person who was appointed by the General.
Lets see something similar in PPP.
@Dean
:) That will really mess up the relationships!
This is what happens when you mix Star Plus with politics.
@B+: It requires one more condition :)
Sunheri Mooqa Join PTI.....
@Mozart How about Capt. Safdar Maryam Sharif?
If there is nothing wrong with Maryams's marriage, then Safdar will be exonerated. Otherwise, Nawaz will act in the fake garb of a man of principles.
Thanks Maryam, by acknowledging the correct decision of the party leader, it shows that both of you are true members of the PML N, part well wisher admire your boldness and clear stand on the matter, you have all the qualities of greate leader of tomorrow. Bowed to the leadership Safder show depth of his commitment to the party. Thanks you also.
Family Drama = PML-N
This a country for gods sake not your dinner table.
@Mozart: well said
Mehtab Abbasi and Pir Sabir Shah was about to join PTI owing to disrespect by Safdar and now to console them and retain them in the party NS forced to take this action. What a change we are watching in this country a struck up person is on his knees. Thanks IK for this change.
Families have falling outs all the time. They're usually more severe, too. Clashing with people who know a great deal about you allows for some pretty brutal in the moment-emotion based shots in all your weak points. Of course I'm giving an extreme example, which this incident is not. But, negative actions against family members doesn't change that aspect at all. After all, you could technically just replace them with another family member.
Capt. Safdar should add 'Sharif' to his name to fix this problem.
Drama Queen
cheap politics to earn some cheap fame. I am amazed is she really so foolish to say that "this act negated the notion that PML-N is a family party..."
This is a confirm topi drama
PML(N) is a family party but not in the negative sense. Its leaders and members are like a family. Its the first choice for sons, daughters and other family members of its leaders and common members because they believe in its cause and mission. Unlike its rival party in which close relatives of its leader do not trust his mission.
And what about those life long members and two ex CMs who were called mir jaffar and mir sadiq? You are so emotional because ur husband got suspended for 10 days, and trying to take full credit for the topi drama, lekin sharif family ke elawa kisee iur kee koi auqat hay pmln main?
This is funny. Good comedy from the Noora League Party....
There is a PML-S coming soon in future if the suspension was not planned.
Family Limited parties ... a black spot on the democratic system of Pakistan.
Oh com'on so called equality and democracy. Dear Safdar's wife please wake up! Please. You're doing family politics so as your father is. Don't try to humiliate people approach, They know you well. There is no democracy in ur party. Dear please be true. Good politics is appreciatable but always keep in mind Allah knows everything. Your sincereity and your thinking. And time will come you will be accountable for what you said. Life to death very short time period. May Allah give you the righteous path. First your Father's brother ruling the Punjab province with 18 ministeries. You might have seen the dengue loss, result of students, load shedding. But You guys are still sitting in the parliament and whistling :D i don't know why!!!
NO!
That's another POLITICAL STUNT. Now that elections are near, all the leading parties will come up with better dramas to show how justice-loving and law abiding they are. Please let go of these cheap tactics! It's time for mature politics.
She preety
so the son in Law remained President of youth wing for as long as he pleased Nawaz but when ofcourse he tried to make his own group withing party and later could stand against Nawaz's decisions with stronger position it would have created trouble for Nawaz's writ on party, so he sacked him,
What is the point of rule of law or no family party in it? It was totally a decision to safeguard personal power so that Nawaz and shahbaz retain the power.
Yes, PML(N) is a family party. The sons, daughters and other family members of its leaders and ordinary memers live like a big family. Any Objection? If your family members don't trust you and don't join your party then change your attitude and fix the problem, don't blame us.
How come Capt. Safdar was the President of Youth Wing, Shahbaz Chief minister, Nawaz President of party, Hamza Shahbaz also an important figure in the party and the Party's name is 'PML (Nawaz Sharif)'. What democracy is that?
@blithe typical noon league response...low
Interesting dramabazi! More like desperation to remain relevant....
Publicity stunt to portray that PMLN is not a family party. Nice drama. PMLN's hypocritical tactics are commendable. They play it as well as PPP playes the sympathy card.
Seems marriage is on rocks!
Will IK's also make it into politics ???
Oops I forget , she was disowned ...
Must have been a husband and wife tiff so she told Daddy to suspend him!
absurd techniques but people are no more fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol @ PTI Trolls.....
Appreciated...good step by NS
proud of the father on the insult of her husband . .???
very funny ! soon we will hear that her husband divorced her !!!!...but hey, thats a family problem :) the gang of Cheaters is Growing !
"She said this negated the notion that PML-N is a family party"
Coming from the Daughter of the Chief of PML-N; her husband was the leader of their Youth Wing while her uncle is the Chief Minister. Her grandfather (another politician) just happened to have Muhammad Tarar installed as the country's President while Sharif was PM. I am sorry but if this is not a family party then is PTI a family party? PPP and PML-N are both hurdles for democracy, the sooner our population realizes it the better for them!
Perhaps the dumbest tweet ever!!
Just to divert attention and to hide the facts.
Noora league is known for topi drama - Bibi time has passed of these hollow statements
Laptops are distributed by Hamza Shahbaz and Mariam Mariam Nawaz. Improtant portfolios are held by the close relatives. Now in the face of mass resignation threats if Capt Safdar is removed then it is being portrayed as democracy within the party!!!!!!!. May I ask who will be next CM Punjab in case PML N wins the elections a close relative or someone else????
And then people would say .. tribune is not a biased paper.
Is this a homepage news by any means?
This family politics is a black spot on the face of our country.
Well done.This action will prevent PML.N from fragmenting. .
Great move by PML-N.. we r proud of u Mian Sahab :)
Disciplinary action against Capt Safdar has clearly demonstrated that PML-N is a democratic party, where no one is above party discipline ..
yeah she is right , the same justice and equality made a 48 year old President Youth wing . .
Nothing is going to change as long as Mr. Nawaz is heading the party...Ms. Maryam should be really proud when Nawaz Sahrif steps down from the top position of the Party and only then we, public, will start trusting PML-N.
And never ending dramas continue..... Nawaz Shareef all over Lahore City District Govt. Ads with
i guess a bad idea on the whole. because people of pakistan are now more than aware of the political scenerio and political gain and loss that to entangle them in such kind of dramas is something from which pml n can gain nothing but can only make its fun by its own........is she proud of safdar..???
Of course, PMLN is not a family party. It really becomes evident Maryam Nawaz says things like (i paraphrase): "my father, the president of the party, suspended the leader of the youth wing of the party, who just happens to be my husband. How do I feel as a conflicted daughter and wife? Let me spin it this way: my father is great for taking this bold decision, my husband is great for humbly accepting. We are just a great family...I mean party"
What happened to Nawaz Sharif asphixation with Musharraf? When I dont see a news in which Nawaz and co. do not mention Musharraf surprises me. In any case this is all a drama to drum up support. They are using media as a tool.
She may be right it's not a family party but a single-man' party!
I am just wondering why has she changed her surname from Maryum Nawaz to Maryum Safdar as is common in Pakistan.... Is captain Safdar paying the price for his marriage with someone who is way above her financial position ?
@Zaikam: At least Nawaz Sharif acknowledges his daughter . Unfortunately , same cannot be said for IK who disowned his daughter .
sher aaya sher aaya stop crying over "what will be" appreciate what is
The same law which made son-in-law (48+) the president of PML-N youth wing
I guess its all pre-planned. Captain (r) Safdar purposely did what he was told by the big bosses so that he can be suspended just to show PML(N) is not a family party and rules are rules. bla bla
maryam nawaz
If you want to negate that notion then persuade daddy-ji to resign as the head of the national party after removing chacha-ji as the leader of the party in Punjab. We're not expecting that day anytime soon.
One party member (daughter) is proud of party chief (father) decision against youth wing president (husband). How about actions against other party relatives, sorry members.
It was the battle big fishes, there is no matter of public interest, don't make scores.
now it's time for political mileage!!!!
Ha! Ha!! Ha!!! CHEAP DRAMA . . . ????
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how do you justify your position in the party Mrs. Nawaz? You'll get top spot just because you are daughter of Mr. NS and Ishaq Dar, Nisar Ali Khan, Zafar ul Haq, Ahsan Iqbal and all others will keep rotting as your humble servants in times to come. Go fool somebody esle. We all saw your stunt on that Malik Riaz show.
Obviously marriage is on the rocks.
