Maryam Nawaz Mandi Bahauddin Speech Warns No Criminal Will Be Spared

MANDI BAHAUDDIN — October 27, 2026 — Maryam Nawaz Mandi Bahauddin speech delivered a stern warning to lawbreakers today, as the Chief Minister of Punjab declared that no criminal—even if affiliated with the ruling party—will escape legal consequences under her administration.

Zero Tolerance for Crime and End of Political Nepotism

Addressing students and faculty at the Honhaar Scholarship and Laptop Distribution Ceremony held at the University of Rasul in Mandi Bahauddin, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz emphasized that governance cannot be conducted through fear. She asserted that her government operates strictly on a transparent and unyielding principle of justice.

The Chief Minister stressed that the era of political influence, favoritism, and nepotism in Punjab has come to an end. “No criminal, regardless of whether they belong to my own party, will be spared. No matter how influential an oppressor may be, they will not escape the grip of the law,” she stated. She reiterated that the provincial government now firmly stands alongside victims and vulnerable citizens, adding that no compromise will ever be tolerated when it comes to the dignity of the poor.

Direct Intervention in Violence Against Women and Judicial Reforms

Highlighting her administration’s swift action against incidents of physical abuse, Maryam Nawaz referenced recent high-profile cases involving violence against women. She recalled personally directing a female victim of an assault on a motorbike to retaliate with equal force against her attacker, noting that a similar firm stance was enforced during a separate violent incident at a petrol pump.

Addressing broader systemic bottlenecks within the criminal justice framework, the Chief Minister expressed frustration over perpetrators securing immediate bail shortly after being apprehended. To address this issue, she announced her readiness to directly engage top judicial authorities, stating she would meet with the Chief Justice of Pakistan and the Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court to streamline legal mechanisms and prevent habitual offenders from exploiting loopholes.

Major Welfare Announcements for Female Students

Concluding her address on an empowering note for youth education and mobility, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced the immediate provision of electric bikes and motor scooters for female students across the province. Expressing her deep dedication to empowering young women, she remarked that she wished she could bring the moon and stars to support their academic journey and future success.
