Jackal’s skin: Maryam Nawaz scores own goal with a slip of tongue

Thousands of Twitter users used #geedar to mock the PML-N leader. Earlier, in her speech she had used Bilawal’s spoonerism ‘Kanpain Tang Rahi Hain’ (trembling are legs) instead of the correct phrase Tangain Kanp Rahi Hain (Legs are trembling).

PML-N leader, Maryam Nawaz, has once again garnered social media mockery following the Jackal’s skin gaffe in a public rally on Friday.

While addressing a public rally in Lahore on Friday, Maryam Nawaz accidentally called Nawaz Sharif ‘a jackal’ as she was demeaning PM Imran Khan. In a new episode of slip of tongue, Maryam Nawaz ended up demeaning her father, Nawaz Sharif.

Maryam Nawaz said, “Geedar ki khal pehan kar koi Nawaz Sharif nahi ban sakta (No one can become Nawaz Sharif wearing the skin of a jackal)” while she actually wanted to say “Geedar ki khal pehan kar koi sher nahi ban sakta (No one can become a lion wearing the skin of a jackal).”
