Mere bhai, I am not taking a piss or chus. When it comes to people in media, its better not to respond to their stupidity and political based agenda. Numerous newspapers in the west write articles about their leadership which make no sense but no one give 2 craps about it but if PTI had to respond, they should have responded in legal way instead of conducting press conferences. In the court, she had to prove how a black magic is used to run the country which no one can provide any proof. Most probably, she would be asked to apologies publicly like how Reham khan did
Dear, I don't know about your intentions to make a judgment but we know in and out of Mazhar Abbas. He is shifting blame on government/PTI with sole intention to defend Asma and to change the topic of discussion.
We have been dealing with PMLN politics and innuendos of their journalists mafia for about 2 decades.. PMLN has always resorted to character attacks, and fabricated stories. PMLN uses its proxies in the media to run such sustained campaigns. Noon mafia can only be stopped with equally vigorous call to shut up and counter attack.
PPP is no good at all either but PTI generally ignores their campaigns because that is not politically worth it.
As far as the courts case is concerned that is a non-starter, making no sense at all. Thee article is published by BBC and charges are to be filed in a British court. Pakistani courts lack jurisdiction. - rather a pak court, if consulted, would have further ridiculed and chided government and had happily added to the injury. Courts or judges cannot fight with "journalist mafia" of noon media machine. It is a political issue and has to be dealt so.

In case of charges/compensation in Britain; first, the First lady has to complain as an aggrieved party, second no charges could be framed in concrete legal terms and facts on the basis of a decrypted language in the article and third, PTi would gains nothing by lingering such an emotional issue in the international media. The sole purpose of Maryam and her media campaign is to highlight 'purda and religiosity" of first lady in west and to ignite Islamophobic sentiments against the current government. That' were to do exactly what Maryam wished to achieve by playing religious/ Islamic card.
Anyhow in case of a case in the court, after some times, BBC would have issued a disclaimer and an apology accepting editorial error, leaving Asma and Maryam to carry on with similar behavior. The target is Maryam and Asma, not BBC. Why would PTI make BBC a party to an internal political issue to get negative publicity.
Only mistake PTI workers have done is that they should have tagged names of Asma and Maryam together. If Maryam continues with this, campaign has to highlight her anti-Muslimism behavior and her sectarianism.
