'Baseless allegations': Buzdar serves Rs250m legal notice on PML-N's Azma Bukhari
Lahore: The Punjab government has served Rs250 legal notice to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MPA Azma Bokhari for levelling baseless and concocted allegations against Chief Minister Usman Buzdar and his principal secretary Tahir Khurshid.
The chief minister office’s legal team on Wednesday discussed the allegations levelled by Ms Bukhari at a news conference and decided that a legal notice for defamation would be sent to her.
Special Assistant to Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has stated that Ms Bukhari had levelled baseless allegations against Mr Buzdar and Mr Khurshid at the behest of her absconding leader Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Safdar.
“Ms Bukhari is suffering from Buzdar-phobia and is quite unnerved over the execution of government matters in accordance with the principles of merit and transparency,” she commented.
The notice asks for tendering apology in 14-day time and otherwise initiating legal action against Ms Bukhari.
