Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Maryam Nawaz appears to be suffering from amnesia because she can’t remember what she said.
Last week, CM Maryam Nawaz announced a significant reduction in electricity costs, promising a Rs 14 per unit cut for two months. Her emphatic declaration, “This is not a short-term relief, this is a two-month relief!” was met with applause from the crowd.
However, now Maryam Nawaz has backtracked on her statement. Taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) account, she labeled the circulating quote as “fake news.” This denial came in response to a tweet featuring her picture alongside the quote.
The internet reacted quickly, with netizens calling out the apparent contradiction. Many users shared video clips of Maryam Nawaz making the exact statement she now claims is fabricated. The backlash was swift and unforgiving, with questions about her honesty and integrity flooding social media.
One particularly pointed comment read, “How can you say something ‘Fake’ that you said? In your own words, why are you making a joke of yourself.” This sentiment echoed across the platform, as users expressed disbelief and frustration.
