The Minister also lamented the fact that on one hand, the women who were indulging in acts of vandalism and terrorism on May 9 are being hailed as the daughters of the nation, while on the other hand, character assassination of PML-N women, including Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is being conducted with the aid of fake and edited videos.
