The arrests following Pakistan Muslim League’s (Nawaz) protests at the Mazar-e-Quaid offered a reminder of what is and isn’t allowed at the mausoleum of the founding father of Pakistan. However, in his attempt at being ‘too cool for rules,’ Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) President Maryam Nawaz’s husband Captain (R) Safdar has prompted outrage from many.
People were outraged by the antics of the All Pakistan Opposition parties rally at Mazar-e-Quaid. In a viral video, it is observed that party workers from the opposition were barging through the barrier at the Mazaar and made their way into the tomb. The evasive action is being dubbed a desecration of the last resting place of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Many voices are demanding legal action against those involved in the act. Some people want action against Captain Safdar. Among these voices is actor Khalid Anam.
In a video message, he shared how he was devasted by the desecration of the Founder of Pakistan’s tomb by the political party.
He then called for high authorities to take stern action against everyone who disrespected Mazar-e-Quaid.
Safdar gets arrested
Looks like it didn’t take too long for arrests to happen. As per reports, Sindh Police did arrest Captain (R) Safdar from his hotel room, though the Sindh Government alleges it had nothing to do with it.
