Did Maryam Nawaz gift Junaid Safdar a Rs140 million Mercedes on his wedding?

PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has broken her silence on the buzz about her rumoured gift of an extremely expensive luxury car to her son Junaid Safdar at his wedding.

The rumours started floating that the 48-year-old politician had gifted a Mercedes worth Rs140 million to Junaid and it was said to be the "most expensive car" to be registered in Punjab.

Taking to Twitter handle, Maryam Nawaz cleared the air and called the rumours baseless and blatant lies. Further, she deemed the news “fake” and denied giving any such gift on her part.

“This blatant lie is all over social media. It is disappointing how reputed accounts propagate fake news without verification,” wrote the politician.
