    The date has been announced and the Nikkah invite has been sent out. Junaid Safdar, the son of PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and Capt (r) Safdar, will be getting married to Ayesha, the daughter of former National Accountability Chairman, Saif-ur-Rehman.

    According to reports, Maryam Nawaz and Captain (R) Safdar will not be attending the Nikkah ceremony.

    Maryam Nawaz has tweeted about not being able to attend her son’s wedding due to her name being on the Exit Control List.

    The wedding invite states that the wedding is on Sunday, August 22 at 6PM. The Nikkah is taking place at a fancy hotel in London, called The Lanesborough.

    The hotel is reputably one of the most expensive in London, situated near Hyde Park.

    Since the wedding invite states that the event is the Nikkah, it is being speculated that the rukhsati will not take place until Junaid’s parents can be in attendance.

    Maryam also tweeted that she was unable to see her mother before she died and now she has to miss her son’s wedding.

    ‘Being raised in the lap of Jews…still continues,’ Jemima Khan lashes out at Maryam Nawaz

    In a series of comments against the children of leaders, Jemima Khan spoke out against PML-N’s Maryam Nawaz for saying that her children were “being raised in the lap of the Jews”. She said that she left Pakistan 17 years ago, “after a decade of antisemitic attacks by the media and politicians (and weekly death threats and protests outside my house). But still it continues”.

    Her comments came after Maryam Nawaz lashed out at PM Khan for mentioning her son. Commenting on Nawaz Sharif’s grandson Junaid Safdar’s pictures of playing a polo match in London, PM Khan said, “This grandson who is playing polo in Britain […] I’ve met so many Kashmiris in London and Manchester, ask them what kind of person can play polo there.”

    “You need a lot of money to keep a horse and play polo. So tell us where this dear grandson got this money from. It’s your [the people’s] money!” he told the crowd.

    The next day, Maryam addressed his comments about her son in her speech and said, “[Junaid] is now the polo team captain and is increasing Pakistan’s respect [abroad]. [Imran] says ‘that grandson’ is going abroad and playing polo, he doesn’t even spare children,” she jibed. “He says, ‘where did he get the money to play polo’.

    “I didn’t want to bring children into it, but the way you’re talking, you’re going to get a befitting reply,” she said.

    “He’s Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, not Goldsmith’s. He’s Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, he’s not being raised in the lap of Jews,” added Maryam.

    Jemima’s reply to Maryam came after referring to an article on how politicians need to keep children out of politics.

    Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif attended a polo match at the Guards Polo Club to watch his grandson and Maryam Nawaz’s son Junaid Safdar play the prestigious annual Oxford versus Cambridge Varsity Match.

    The match was won by Oxford in the end. Junaid’s horse was awarded the ‘Best Playing Pony’ Award as he scored all three goals for his side.

    The Oxford versus Cambridge Varsity match was also played by Prince Charles during his time at Cambridge.

    It’s believed that Junaid Safdar is only the second Pakistani to have played this match for the Cambridge team after Supreme Court Judge Justice Yahya Afridi, who studied in Cambridge and played a match for the same team during his student years.

    Nawaz Sharif can be seen in pictures sitting with his grandson Zayed Hussain, son of Hussain Nawaz Sharif, in the polo ground.

    Junaid has graduated from Durham University with first-class honours in politics and obtained another master’s degree from University College London in 2017.

    Nawaz Sharif’s grandson Junaid Safdar was recently spotted enjoying a polo match in Lahore. Pictures of him were widely circulated on social media following which he was heavily criticised for enjoying a polo match while his grandfather allegedly battles between life and death.

    Junaid, the eldest son of Maryam Nawaz and Captain Safdar Awan, is an avid polo player and often shares pictures of himself with his horses.

    Meanwhile, on December 21, 2019, Maryam Nawaz had filed a petition in the LHC in a bid to have her name removed from the no-fly list. The PML-N leader, in her petition, had said that she wanted permission to fly abroad so she could be with her ailing father. Nawaz’s brother Shehbaz Sharif had said the schedule for Nawaz’s critical medical procedures had been changed twice because Maryam was not there to accompany him.

    The petition was the PML-N leader’s second attempt to have her name struck off the travel restrictions list.
