Taking to social networking website, Twitter, the ex-senator posted a series of tweets to present her case.

Regular audits were done, all finances were intact.” However, a “notorious campaign had been initiated against Sehar Kamran which led to her resignation in 2013.
The former senator stated that “Dirty tactics were used to defame & pressurize, compelling me & all the senior staff [to] leave”. She added that nearly 30 people resigned in a single day because of a “politically motivated campaign”.
