Aisha Ahad Malik, who claims to be the daughter-in-law of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, on Thursday appealed to the president, prime minister, chief justice of Pakistan and the Interior minister to provide her security from Punjab Police, which has become the “Sharif Force”.
Addressing a press conference at the National Press Club, she denied association with any political party or having a political agenda. She said the ‘Sharif Force’ was intimidating her after registering illegal and baseless cases against her and threatening to kill her.
She swore on the Holy Quran that Hamza Shahbaz had solemnised Nikkah with her and that she was his legal wife. Aisha said Hamza was the mastermind behind the cases registered against her, and that if she or any of her family members were murdered, Hamza Shahbaz, former chief justice of Lahore High Court Khawaja Sharif, former inspector general of Police Rana Maqbool and Hamza’s brother-in-law Ali Imran Yousaf should be held responsible.
She claimed to have submitted an application in this regard at Islampura Police Station, Lahore, but regretted that the police had not even received the application.
She alleged that Hamza had forced her to sign divorce papers. “My crime was to ask Hamza to accept me as his wife publicly,” she added.
