The notice claimed that the TV host violated the privacy of Sharmila Faruqi’s mother, Anisa which prompted Faruqi to take legal action against her.
“By stating that my client has taken upon the case of her mother against you for media time and that decent families do not function like that, and also that she is using [the] sympathy card against her mother for publicity, not only have you adversely affected my client’s goodwill but have also injured her reputation lowering her estimation of many of her followers/voters/supporters reducing her to ridicule, unjust criticism, dislike, contempt or hatred,” the notice added.
The PPP leader also demanded to take down the video within 15 days from the issuance of the legal notice.
In response, Nadia Khan also preparing to send legal notice of Rs 50 million for using derogatory remarks for her. She updated her followers regarding the action while uploading a post on her Instagram, saying she was sending the notice because Sharmila used, “insulting remarks for a woman”.
