Rawalpindi- Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member and former MNA Mohammad Hanif Abbasi sent a defamation notice worth one billion rupees in damages to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan tonight.
The PML-N leader alleged that the PTI chairman had been spreading "slanderous propaganda" against him. He also maintained that Imran Khan, during his speeches, had called Abbasi a 'drug pusher'. Abbasi sent the legal notice to Imran through his counsel Ghulam Mustafa Kidwal.
In his notice, Abbasi has demanded an apology from Khan within 15 days otherwise he should pay Rs1 billion in damages to his reputation. Abbasi said that he would initiate legal proceedings against Khan if he didn’t pay damages. It may be pointed out that Abbasi had been accused of misappropriating 500kg ephedrine quota back in 2010.
