PML-N leader Hina Parvez Butt compared Maryam Nawaz Sharif with the popular protagonist of the Turkish TV show, Ertugrul, in her recent Twitter post.
Butt said she is a regular viewer of the popular historical TV series and can draw a clos comparison between the personalities of Maryam Nawaz and Ertuğrul.
“I am watching Ertugrul nowadays and I see Maryam Nawaz has similar leadership qualities as him,” Butt wrote on Twitter. “Her strong belief in God, her courage to not give up, her conviction to stand on her principles even when everyone is against her, her ability to differentiate between right and wrong.”
Airing of Ertugrul on national TV has caused much uproar among local art circles. Artists like Reema Khan and Shaan Shahid have opposed the decision to broadcast foreign content on national TV. They believe it is unfair to the local artist community,especially when they are workless in the wake of the pandemic and looking for employment.
