LAHORE (Dunya News) - In a rare moment of warmth amid months of political hostility, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz exchanged cordial messages on the social media platform X.
The gesture began on Thursday when Maryam Nawaz posted a welcoming note for Bilawal, who had arrived in Punjab for a series of political engagements.
“Punjab is your home, and you will always be received with respect,” she wrote, extending what she called a “warm welcome” to the PPP leader.
