Tensions flared between Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president and chief organizer Maryam Nawaz and central leader Tehmina Daultana during a meeting of the party’s parliamentary board.
As details emerged from Thursday’s meeting focusing on reserved seats for women within the PML-N, reports suggested a series of disagreements among the party's prominent figures.
Sources privy to the meeting revealed that the absence of former Punjab chief minister Hamza Shehbaz was notable. Additionally, Maryam Nawaz expressed discontent regarding the praise directed towards women MPs by former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Tensions escalated when Tehmina Daultana began to address the huddle. Maryam Nawaz interjected, challenging Daultana about her contributions to the party. She questioned, “What have you done for the party? What more do you want from me?” The exchange grew heated, prompting party leader Nawaz Sharif to signal Maryam Nawaz to maintain composure.
It’s noteworthy that Tehmina Daultana hails from the Vehari district of Punjab and has been an integral part of the PML-N since the inception of her political career.
The friction between these two influential women leaders within the party showcases the intensity of internal debates and the complexity of dynamics during crucial party meetings.
