She congratulated the successful police cadets, saying that she was encouraged to see their passing out parade as the chief minister.

Addressing the cadets, Maryam said, “I am one of you. I have come to the [passing out parade] ceremony wearing your uniform. This is not a uniform, but an emblem of national service very few people are honoured to have.”

Maryam, on the occasion, announced cash prizes for the top performers.

The chief minister, addressing the female cadets, stated that their parents trusted them and dedicated them [their daughters] to the national service.

Late last month, Maryam Nawaz had caused quite a stir when she attended a passing-out ceremony for women constables and traffic assistants in a Punjab police uniform.

It is pertinent to mention here that Maryam Nawaz is the first woman chief minister in Pakistan’s history. She was sworn in as the CM on February 26.
