PTI Sends Rs.2 BN Compensation Notice To Maryam Nawaz

According to the details, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf spokesman Naeem-ul-Haq has served a legal notice to the premier’s daughter Maryam Nawaz, demanding Rs2 billion as compensation for conducting false media trial.

The notice issued by Senior Advocate Babar Awan states that Maryam has scandalised Haq under the garb of a so-called legal notice sent on October 31, 2016.

It adds that since the notice was circulated on national media it has caused the PTI spokesperson losses to tune of Rs2 billion.

In the notice, Maryam has been asked to furnish within 15 days a copy of the full report of Dawn Leaks without any omission or cutting.

The notice Maryam had sent to Haq stated that the latter had accused the former of being responsible for the leaking information discussed at a high-level national security meeting.

It added that the accusation was defamatory, false, scandalous and did not have any evidence. “The statement has been represented as if it is a true fact, which is not the case.”

It further read that Maryam was not even a member of any security committee not she had access to any information, discussion or decisions taken at any such meeting.

A ‘mafia’ and their ‘godfather’ are involved in humiliating the institutions, while Nehal Hashmi, Pervaiz Rashid and Tariq Fatemi were made the scapegoats, said Haq.

While talking to the media, the PTI spokesperson said attempts were being made to threaten the judiciary and make ineffective the Joint Investigation Team formed to probe the Panama case.

Hashmi’s party membership was suspended after he made controversial remarks against the judiciary for probing the prime minister and his family over the Panama case, while Fatemi was removed from his position over the Dawn Leaks issue.

The PTI spokesman has asked Maryam Nawaz to submit a reply within 15 days, else the matter would be taken to court of law.

Previously, Maryam had sent a notice to Haq for accusing her of being responsible for leaking sensitive information discussed at a high-level national security meeting last year.
