LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Wednesday served a legal notice to former PTI member Ayesha Gulalai demanding that she reply to the letter within 10 days or pay compensation to the tune of Rs 30 million.
Earlier, PTI spokesman Fawad Chaudhry told journalists that the party would serve a legal notice to Gulalai and demanded that she apologize.
Addressing a press conference, the PTI leader, flanked by women party leaders of the party, said that Gulalai was used for character assassination of party chairman Imran Khan.
He also said that Gulalai has been asked to resign from her MNA seat and if she doesn’t the party will ask the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to de-notify her.
“[Ayesha Gulalai] is in violation of Article 63 by not resigning,†said Chaudhry.
Former PTI MNA Ayesha Gulalai alleged on Tuesday that Imran Khan had sent her inappropriate text messages, but did not reveal any other details to support her allegations. She had also alleged that the “honour of women is not safe†in the party.
PTI leader Alia Hamza strongly rebutted allegations of sexism and harassment in the party, saying she is part of the core committee and is respected in the party.
“Why did Gulalai continued to part of the party if she had received [objectionable] messages,†she asked.
