In a goodwill gesture, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Sunday broke her fast with prisoners of Central Jail Lahore in Kot Lakhpath, where she once was imprisoned, to show support to the inmates.
The provincial chief executive visited the prison and extended her support to the prisoners by eating with them at Iftar and extending gifts, clothes and monetary assistance of Rs15,000 to them.
A video shared by Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb showed the CM Maryam visiting different sections of the jail and planting a tree in the garden on the occassion. Besides meeting the prison officials, Maryam also spoke to the prisoners and asked about their issues and problems.
Today’s iftar menu, which included Biryani, samosas, pakoras, fruits and other savouries, was prepared on Maryam’s directives.
Earlier, the Punjab chief minister inaugurated a 20-bed hospital for the rehabilitation of drug addicts within the prison.
She also toured Pakistan’s first ever video call facility for prisoners at the Lahore Central Jail, and checked the quality of food prepared for the prisoners.
Maryam got teary-eyed while visiting the cell where she and her father, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif were incarcerated.
More videos released by PML-N's media account on X, formerly Twitter, showed Maryam serving food to the prisoners while sitting among them at the Iftaar feast.
