CM Maryam to wear 'Elite Force uniform' to show solidarity with policewomen

Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz is set to surprise everyone one more time as she will wear the 'Elite Force uniform' for the passing out parade of the provincial police.

Earlier on April 25, she attended the passing out ceremony of the policewomen by wearing a police uniform.

However, her positive gesture towards the female cops was not received well by her opponents, who criticised her for wearing a police uniform.

According to reports, CM Maryam could also land in jail for three years or she could face a fine of Rs100,000 for donning an uniform.

Later, the provincial police said CM Maryam Nawaz is entitled to wear a uniform as per Punjab Police Dress Regulations.

"As per the 'Punjab Police Dress Regulations', the CM of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, is entitled to wear the police uniform. This has been widely celebrated by the police personnel, who view it as a commendable show of solidarity," the department said in a post on X.

However, Punjab's first woman CM will once again don a law enforcement department's uniform to show solidarity with the Elite Force women officers.

The passing out parade is set to be held next week at the Elite force training centre located at Bedian road in Lahore.
