Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has warned that any attempts to exert political pressure, abuse influence or exploit a woman by threatening to release “personal content” in the case involving actor Momina Iqbal and PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar will be met with “firm and uncompromising action”.
In a tweet posted on Friday evening, the CM said the matter is a “personal issue” that will be “addressed strictly on merit and in accordance with the law”.
In a post on social media in which she tagged the PML-N leadership, Momina alleged that she had been subjected to “online harassment, cyberbullying, and death threats for a long time.”
She claimed that both she and her family had suffered severe mental stress and trauma because of the alleged conduct of the MPA, whose identity she did not disclose publicly. His identity was made public after the NCCIA summoned both of them to record their statements.
“A member of the provincial assembly belonging to the PML-N has been threatening me for an extended period. I repeatedly reported the matter to the NCCIA and the Federal Investigation Agency, but no action was taken,” she stated.
