Amid the Nikah ceremony of PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz’s son Junaid Safdar, a few dozen PTI supporters staged a protest outside the venue in London.
The protesters chanted anti-PML-N slogans with placards and tried to disrupt the ongoing event inside the Lanesborough Hotel.

On the other hand, a cab driver along with his family danced at the entrance on anti-Nawaz Sharif slogans and demanded the return of ‘looted money’.
However, a protester was disgruntled at others for not being punctual.

Notably, Maryam Nawaz and Captain Muhammad Safdar’s son tied the knot with Ayesha Saif Khan, the daughter of the former Chairman NAB Saif-ur-Rehman.
The Nikah ceremony of Junaid Safdar took place in the absence of Maryam Nawaz but the groom’s maternal grandfather Mian Nawaz Sharif attended the event.
Maryam Nawaz sent her wishes to the newly wedded couple through social media.
