Meanwhile, she criticised the performance of the Punjab provincial government, stating that the responsibility of overseeing basic tasks, such as monitoring rotis in the tandoor, lies with magistrates or assistant commissioners, not with Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
Furthermore, Gul also likened the actions of the Punjab CM to those of TikTokers, suggesting a failure in efficiently managing the affairs of the province. Additionally, she criticised the federal government for its inability to control the rising prices of essential commodities such as electricity, gas, and petrol.
