After comparing Maryam Nawaz Sharif with the iconic protagonist of the Turkish TV series, Ertugrul, PML-N leader Hina Parvez Butt has created quite a frenzy on Twitter.

Taking to twitter, Hina Parvez wrote: “I am watching Ertugrul nowadays and I see Maryam Nawaz has similar leadership qualities as him,” Butt wrote on Twitter. “Her strong belief in God, her courage to not give up, her conviction to stand on her principles even when everyone is against her, her ability to differentiate between right and wrong.”

Earlier last week, actor Shaan Shahid said the state should produce and promote local content instead of airing foreign content.

When two users questioned him about not promoting a series based on Islamic history, the actor replied, “If Islamic history is the same for everyone, then this show should have been dubbed in Arabic and aired in Saudi Arabia.” He added: “..for how long would we keep on working with borrowed content? PTV should produce epics like these. Where is the funding?”
