Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is under scrutiny as a Session Court petition challenges her donning of a police uniform at a passing-out parade. The petitioner argues that her act violates the law, as civilians are prohibited from wearing official state institution attire. Despite Ms. Nawaz’s plea to the police, no action was taken. The court postponed the hearing to April 29. Nawaz, Punjab’s first female Chief Minister, participated in the event in Lahore, presenting awards and receiving a guard of honor. She secured victory in the election with 220 votes, as her opponent faced a boycott. The opposition members boycotted the Punjab Assembly session, leading to a declaration by the Speaker that only the Chief Minister election would proceed.
