Ali Zafar on Monday sent a legal notice of Rs100 million to singer Meesha Shafi after the latter leveled allegations of sexual harassment against her colleague.
According to the notice, a defamation suit will be filed against Meesha upon her failure to issue an apology to Ali Zafar on electronic media within two weeks. Advocate Ali Sibtain Fazli, who is the legal counsel of Ali Zafar, said the media will be informed of further proceedings in the case.
Sharing this because I believe that by speaking out about my own experience of sexual harassment, I will break the culture of silence that permeates through our society. It is not easy to speak out.. but it is harder to stay silent. My conscience will not allow it anymore #MeToo pic.twitter.com/iwex7e1NLZ
