ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Defense Khawaja Asif disclosed that Maryam Nawaz, during her time in jail, used to wet her muslin scarf to cope with the extreme heat.

This revelation came during a session of the National Assembly on Wednesday, where he was discussing the enforcement of emergency measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the prevailing security situation.

Asif’s comments highlighted the harsh conditions faced by political prisoners, particularly in the context of ongoing political tensions in Pakistan.

He emphasized the need for humane treatment of all individuals in custody, stating, “The heat was unbearable, and it is crucial that we acknowledge the struggles faced by those in confinement, regardless of their political affiliations.”

This statement sheds light on the broader implications of political imprisonment in Pakistan, raising questions about human rights and the treatment of opposition figures.
