Ali Zaidi while talking to media said that we did not stop what the government did in Gujranwala. We don't care if we have to hold a meeting. Strict action should be taken against the minor action taken today at Mazar-e-Quaid.

Meanwhile, the administrative officer of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's mausoleum has also submitted a petition to the brigade police station for legal action against the PML-N leaders.

It may be recalled that during the visit of Maryam Nawaz to Mazar-e-Quaid yesterday, Captain (Retd) Muhammad Safdar had started chanting slogans and had chanted "Respect the Vote" in the premises of Mazar-e-Quaid.

He entered the compound of the tomb of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, then crossed the nets around the tomb and stood by the tomb and shouted slogans. Workers there also chanted slogans respecting the vote. On this occasion, Maryam Nawaz, Maryam Aurangzeb, Nihal Hashmi and Ali Akbar Gujjar were present inside the central lattice around the grave of the founder of Pakistan.
