According to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, those attempting to undermine the nation under the guise of politics and democracy won’t be treated lightly. Maryam responded to a reporter’s question during a brief, casual exchange on the matter by saying that the law would be enforced if there was a threat of injuring people or damage public property. The chief minister emphasised, “It isn’t political victimisation,” and said that in the event of a protest, one must behave like a responsible citizen. Maryam declared, “I will not allow [you] to spread political chaos in the country if you think that [you] will use your democratic right to do so.”
