In a tweet on Friday, Maryam censured an ARY News anchor who made the allegation.
An ARY anchor y'day said I'm sending my 10 year old to London for her schooling. Responsibility warranted verification before vilification.

Further, responding to the allegation, the prime minister's daughter clarified that her younger one was pulled out of school for the time being not only because she faced serious threats but for the reason that it imperiled the lives of her fellow school kids.
“The anchor ought to know that to us all kids are as dear as our own and this is why we have put all at stake,” she added.
She also tweeted about the rising sensationalism of such anchors.
Rejected allegations, Maryam spelled out in her tweet that her daughter will be home-schooled for the time being, and her family would not leave the country despite serious threats.
My daughter will be homeschooled for now. None of us will leave Pakistan despite serious threats. This only strengthens our resolve.

@Zain: it all helps with the teacher to pupil ratio!
Talk about leadership....
H
Ill give you benefit of doubt Maryam. If that was the intention then kudos to you!
@Dr Ghulam Ali: what u wana hear abt?Imran Niazi's 2nd marriage?
Still you'll have people ready to sacrifice themselves and their children for this "royal" family's luxurious life. It amazes me how some people can worship humans that couldnt care for them 1 bit.
Why doesn't she send to govt. schools where all of the rest of students have to go to even when security isn't provided?
Truth be told, home schooled means most expensive tutors coming hone to teach while rest of nation can rot for all they care.
When can we get rid of the news of these royal families of Sharif, Zardari? Does she deserve any attention?
Of course the daughter of the Prime Minister can't send her daughter to school due to security reason. I wonder how the Prime Minister sleeps at night thinking about other kids of the country.
Well, what other proof you need for incapability of #PMLN govt than this?
If the prime minister's granddaughter isn't safe and can't be provided security, we should forget about our kids!
Leaders lead by example. Like how IK conducted his Valima at an Orphanage home. ANd what example have you set?
Why doesn't she home-school all her daughters ex-school fellows too? I believe the PM house is big and safe enough.
And what about the other ones who have to sent their kids to school.
