After widespread condemnation Maryam tenders apology, deletes tweet on slain Arshad Sharif
The PML-N leader retweeted a tweet that claimed that Sharif, during his lifetime, had mocked the circumstances of PML-N's Nawaz Sharif’s mother’s death only to meet a similar end himself
After coming across widespread condemnation, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday tendered an apology and deleted a tweet regarding slain journalist Arshad Sharif.
The tweet was considered “insensitive and shameful” and attracted a series of condemnation from politicians, journalists and activists.
Sharif was shot dead in Kenya allegedly by the local police on Sunday night, with an official police statement later expressing “regrets on the unfortunate incident” and saying an investigation was underway.
Maryam today retweeted a tweet which claimed that Sharif, during his lifetime, had mocked the circumstances of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s mother’s death only to meet a similar end himself.
The PML-N leader retweeted the post with the caption, “This is a lesson for mankind that we must all take in.”
