—Supports claims of Gulalai and Ahad
LAHORE: Seemal Kamran, the estranged wife of former provincial law minister Raja Basharat on Sunday, alleged that she is facing life threats from the brother of the ex-minister, Raja Nasir.
“He has given me death threats thrice, harassed and humiliated me before the house maids,” the former member of the Punjab Assembly of PML-Q told the media while addressing a press conference at the Lahore Press Club. Seemal alleged that some unidentified persons riding a motorcycle and a car followed her car to harass her in Johar Town. She said she has lodged a complaint with the police.
She levelled serious allegation against Raja Basharat and dubbed him a fraud man. She showed her marriage deed, data of phone call records, her UK visa with the ex-minister and utility bills to the media. According to her, these are her proofs of her marriage with Raja Basharat. However, she said Raja Basharat denies her marriage with her despite all this record.
After revealing her ordeal, she said the politicians are in the habit of using women and then divorcing them and even denying their marriage. Seemal said she supported Ayesha Gulalai, Ayesha Ahad, Qandeel Baloch and all other women who were harassed by influential people but raised their voice against injustice.
She said laws are made for the protection of women in assemblies but in reality, women are not protected by the ‘gentlemen’ politicians.
She said that when Articles 62, 63 can be used against the prime minister, why then, are they not used against politicians who are harassing women. She said many people had contacted her to use her against rival politicians but she said that she would not make her grievances political.
Seemal urged the Supreme Court of Pakistan to form a judicial commission to probe allegations of Ayesha Ahad against Hamza Shahbaz and of Ayesha Gulalai’s against PTI Chairman Imran Khan and her own accusations against Raja Basharat.
Meanwhile, Senator Pari Gul Agha, the wife of Basharat Raja, said that Seemal Kamran is a fraud.
In a statement, she said that Seemal was expelled from the Muslim League three years back and her entry into the Muslim League House has also been banned.
She alleged that Seemal wants to defame her family and only desires to mint money through these tactics.
