Shahbaz Sharif's dinner reception had nothing to do with PDM: Maryam Nawaz By Tuesday May 25, 2021 Maryam supports Abbasi's decision to resign as PDM secretary-general if PPP rejoins. My presence was not needed in the dinner; stop "making an issue out of everything", Maryam tells journalist. PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday said her party president Shahbaz Sharif's dinner — held a day earlier with PPP, ANP, and other Opposition party leaders in presence — had nothing to do with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM). "He hosted the dinner as the leader of Opposition, as they had to devise a strategy for the budget session," Maryam said, while speaking to journalists in Islamabad.
