We feel so lucky to have Maryam Nawaz as our CM.. 💕

[flork]

This is so stupid. The woman had the head scarf on her head but it slipped off while working and since the CM was there, she kept on working without interpution even if she was uncomfortable. Maryam helped her out. Women do that for other hijabi women who are uncomfortable showing their hair all the time. Please don't talk if you don't have the social context to it and yes, you can be a nonhijabi and help other girls out. I do it all the time.

[BS]

This lady never had an elder tell her “chunni lo” 😂

[Ejcjxbs_o]

Don't lecture to islamic women....just show how you treat women..

[salley]

She is always with out covering out of Pakistan in London and foreign and showing authoritarian personality and trying to strengthen patriarchal culture in Pakistan.

[gods-best-friend-gbf]

Moment when Taliban sponsors a politician in Pakistan...

[shubhampaul]

Why did she do that? That cop was clearly comfortable without her head Moral policing at its best. 😢

[JoeFrancis]

Herself is showing the hair and why these idiots are doing with police women ..since the fools will say the Maryam is so religious taking the People in her hands

[Ejcjxbs_o]

Head scraf is not symbol of oppression....he officer means she show you your views or perspective... ma'am

[hassankhan-cqkq]

I am telling you guys, this drama lady is far more professional than your top rated Bollywood actresses. 😂😂. She came to Chief ministership not on the basis of public votes but on the basis of her acting and lying skills. On the basis of form 45 she lost her election but corrupt establishment of Pakistan declared her winner on form 47.
She and his father are the most corrupt ones in the world. We don't accept our current government.

Despite muslim woman doing job in police in islamic country and cm Punjab mariyam they only focus on hijab

[BabarAliKhan-iw]

Madam this is not personal, hijab is necessary in our religion. And we are living in muslim country. Infact our country was formed on the name of Islam.

[shaguftakhan]

No ma’am, you are wrong. Let me explain. I wear hijab, at work & at any gathering, even if it’s all ladies gathering because people often share pictures on social media. My religious teaching is that women should cover their head. So I don’t want my hair to show in public. What Maryam Nawaz did was completely out of line. 1- She violated another woman’s personal space And 2- Her team posted the video on social media with the police officer’s uncovered head. I am telling you from the perspective of a hijab observing woman, that it’s so wrong to do such a thing for one’s own publicity /. dramay baazi.
And no, hijab in no way signifies “ women’s oppression “. And people who are criticizing her action are not talking in terms of oppression. I observe hijab because I want to, no one has asked me or forced me to do so. I am not oppressed ( I am a physician working in the US for the last 30 yrs ) My sisters live in different parts of the world, all highly educated, all are working & all of us are observing hijab. So please correct your misconception on this issue.
