Maryam Nawaz adopts simple lifestyle after becoming CM, says Azma Bukhari

Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari said on Wednesday that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has made significant changes in her lifestyle since becoming provincial chief executive. She now wears “normal clothes” and lives a simpler life, Azma added.

“Maryam [Nawaz] wears normal clothes [whereas] her other clothes are old and date before the [February 8] general elections,” the provincial government spokesperson said while speaking on Geo News’ programme “Geo Pakistan”.

The minister’s remarks came as it is a first time in the history that a female is a chief minister of Punjab. This also put Maryam Nawaz in the spotlight even more than her role as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president.

However, social media users accused Maryam Nawaz multiple times of wearing expensive clothes and shoes. 

Responding to the allegations, Bukhari said that CM Punjab likes and mostly wears simple clothes.

“I didn’t say she doesn’t wear branded clothes, she prefers simple clothes now,” the minister noted.
