Salik Hussain Awaits Legal Notice Over Maryam Aurangzeb’s Social Media Post

Federal Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain has responded to a post on X by Senior Provincial Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, saying she should send a legal notice over what he described as misleading claims to Chief Minister’s spokesperson Kausar Kazmi, as he has yet to receive his own legal notice.

According to a report by NNI, Hussain said he is waiting for the legal notice so that he can respond to it appropriately and in accordance with legal requirements. His remarks suggest he favours pursuing the matter through formal legal channels, and he has not yet announced any counter-allegation or new claim.

The report did not publish the full text of Aurangzeb’s X post or the specific claims described as misleading. It also gave no details of when or how the legal notice would be sent. Nonetheless, Hussain’s statement makes clear that the exchange of statements between the two leaders is continuing and that the matter is at an early stage.

The statement was issued from Lahore. In political circles, such exchanges are generally viewed in the context of public statements and debate on social media, while legal notices are often issued to rebut a claim or statement.

No further clarification or response has so far been received from the parties concerned.

Itemad will follow the matter, including the positions of the parties concerned and any developments regarding the legal notice, and will bring fresh information to readers.
