Shibli Faraz

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz has on Sunday said that the PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has harmed the party with her childish politics.

The minister further urged the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leaders to help the masses in this difficult time as the third COVID strain is more dangerous than the previous ones.
