Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Thursday said the “veiled lady” Bushra Bibi should appear before the court to answer her wrong deeds instead of sending a legal notice to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Chief Organizer Maryam Nawaz.
She, in a tweet, said Maryam Nawaz had exposed all the “imposters” who looted the country ruthlessly.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said all the cases related to the wife of Imran Khan were in the courts and it was better for her to face them.
She said the “veiled woman” did not confine herself to her home, but also remained involved in receiving five carrots diamond and land as corruption and linking political opponents with treason on social media.
Her comments came as Bushra Bibiserved a legal notice to Maryam Nawaz on Thursday for hurling “defamatory, false, frivolous and slanderous” accusations against the former during a recent public speech.
The notice pointed out a speech given by Maryam on May 1 at a PML-N convention in Lahore.
The PML-N leader had accused Bushra Bibi of receiving “five-caret gold rings as bribes during government tenure of Imran Khan.
It said that Maryam’s “slanderous” statement, which it stated was heard and viewed by everyone across the world and in Pakistan, had created a “ridiculous impression” that Bushra Bibi was a dishonest and unethical person.
It also provided political opponents with a chance to initiate vilification propaganda against the PTI chief and his wife, it added.
The notice further stated that Bushra Bibi and her family had suffered “immense damage to their reputation” of being a law-abiding citizens.
The notice asked Maryam to withdraw her May 1 statement and issue an apology to Bushra Bibi within seven days, warning that otherwise, the latter had the legal right to initiate legal action against the PML-N leader in courts.
