A Christmas tree was erected at Liberty Chow on CM Maryam’s instruction.

As a show of support for the Christian community, the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) erected a Christmas tree at Lahore’s Liberty Chowk at the request of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

“A 42-foot-tall Christmas tree has been installed at Liberty Chowk, Lahore, as a powerful gesture of love, plurality, and inclusion,” Maryam Nawaz wrote in a post on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to her, “it reflects the message that minorities are not only safe in Punjab but also valued, respected, and an integral part of the social fabric.”
