ISLAMABAD: Wife of Bol News Anchorperson (late) Arshad Sharif, Javeria Siddique on Tuesday slammed Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz for her vile tweet against her husband.
In a tweet, Maryam Nawaz retweeted a tweet which, sharing a picture of Arshad Sharif’s dead body, alleged that the anchorperson used to say that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif sent his mother in a parcel. The Tweeter alleged that the respected journalist used to mock people’s illness and death.
Maryam wrote, “…this is a lesson for the mankind that we must all imbibe.”
In response, Javeria Siddique shared screenshot of a tweet of her husband and said, “Shame on you, Maryam Nawaz. And you should fear Allah (SWT)”. In the Arshad Sharif’s tweet of August 2017, the slain journalist had prayed for good health and well-being of Mrs Kulsoom Nawaz, Maryam’s mother.
