Mewher Bano Qureshi has urged PTI KP information minister Shafi Jan to retract his remarks against Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and apologise for using what she called “unparliamentary and ungentlemanly” language.
In a statement on X Meher Bano Qureshi said that the language used by Shafi Jan was inappropriate and “deeply offensive.” and urged him to retract his words and tender an apology.
Besides this PTI lawmaker Sher Afzal Marwat has also criticised Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shafi Jan over remarks used about Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari and CM Maryam Nawaz, saying the language used had damaged the party’s moral standing rather than its political opponents.
In a statement on X, Marwat said that bringing women’s marriages, character and private lives into politics was neither bravery nor politics, nor was it consistent with Pashtun traditions. He urged political opponents to challenge each other’s policies without crossing the borders of their homes.
Furthermore, former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry’s wife, Hiba Fawad, has also condemned Shafi Jan’s remarks against Azma Bokhari.
In a post on X, she described the language as “highly condemnable and shameful,” saying that political differences were understandable but insulting a woman was unacceptable under any circumstances. Hiba Fawad questioned whether Shafi Jan would use the same language for women in his own family.
