“Although, party leader Maryam Nawaz is trying to pacify the party leader but Zubair is in hot waters over these days,” a source said. The source said that following the statement went on air, Nawaz Sharif took note of it and sought clarification from Zubair. The source said that Mohammad Zubair told Nawaz Sharif that he had made a mistake and it will not happen in the future. Moreover, Nawaz had started consultations on removing Zubair as spokesperson, but then the matter was diluted over the personal request of Maryam Nawaz after Zubair admitted his mistake and sought an unconditional apology. The source said Zubair’s statement was also taken seriously by party president Shehbaz Sharif who raised it with Nawaz.
