Firdous-Sonia scuffle and rule of law May 12, 2021 Earlier this month, the special assistant to the Chief Minister Punjab on Information and Culture created a ruckus when she visited a Ramzan bazar in Sialkot. Firdous Ashiq Awan was caught on camera publicly admonishing Assistant Commissioner Sialkot Sonia Sadaf over over the standard of produce being sold. The video went viral and many politicians came out in support of the AC and demanded that Firdous apologise for publicly humiliating a competent and professional woman who also happens to be extremely well-educated. Naturally, the opposition PMLN was quick to side with Sadaf against the ruling PTI’s Firdous. But, so too, was Chief Secretary Punjab Jawad Rafique Malik. Elsewhere, the country’s entire bureaucracy, including Civil Services Academy, have called Firdous to apologise.
