First lady visits orphanage, shares meal with children

Lahore: First Lady Bushra Maneka on Saturday shared a meal with children during her trip to an orphanage in Lahore.

The premier’s wife was accompanied by a friend, Farah Khan, during the trip to Darul Shafqat orphanage. She had also brought food with her, a meal of chicken biryani and zarda, which was distributed among the children.

In her Eidul Azha message as the first lady of the country, Bushra Maneka called for national unity under her husband’s new government.

She also told citizens to be hopeful for a ‘Naya Pakistan’. She prayed that the country is blessed with successes, happiness and prosperity.

Bushra’s ex-husband Khawar Maneka has been embroiled in a controversial case involving the transfer of a district police officer. The officer claims he was transferred after he refused to apologise for stopping Maneka’s car and refusing to apologise. The Chief Justice Saqib Nisar has summoned Maneka to a hearing on Monday.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered an inquiry into the matter from the Punjab Chief Minister but has subsequently distanced himself from the case.
