SAPM Zulfi Bukhari sends defamation notice to PPP Chairman Bilawal Zardari

Lahore, 1st July: Special Assistant to Prime Minister for Overseas Pakistanis & Human Resource Development, Sayed Zulfikar Abbas Bukhari has filed a defamation suit against PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto.

Zulfikar Bukhari popularly known as Zulfi Bukhari sent a 100 million damages notice to Bilawal Bhutto on Thursday after the latter made a statement on Zulfi’s visit to Israel.

Zulfi Bukhari said that the decision to file a defamation suit was taken after consultation with the legal team after PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto made an irresponsible statement against him recently.

Earlier, a media website ‘Middle East Monitor’ had apologized to Sayed  Zulfi Bukhari for broadcasting the wrong news.

SAPM shared on his Twitter handle, “After consulting with my legal team, I’ve decided to move ahead with defamation proceedings against #Bilawal Zardari for his recent irresponsible remarks. His poor understanding of most things again made him blurt out things fed to him, provoking issues he knows nothing about.”
