Fawad Chaudhary takes a jibe at Maryam Nawaz

On Thursday, Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry criticized opposition parties, proclaiming that PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz was "celebrating her defeat" in the first phase of local government elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). "Instead (of celebrating), they should have visited their party workers in KP to boost their morale. They should have done national politics," he said. PTI showed dismal results as JUI-F won 17 seats as compared to PTI's 12 seats.
