Former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker and ex-chairperson of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) Marvi Memon on Saturday came down hard on those questioning her alleged marriage with former finance minister Ishaq Dar, warning that if she were to open up, it wouldn’t be good for her formed party.
Marvi also warned that she will not tolerate any more trolling. She said she has had to deal with trolls for the past two years.
In 2017, rumours spread that Dar and Memon had married secretly and that she asked for Rs1.5 billion in Haq Mehr. However, none of these reports were ever confirmed by Dar or Memon or their representatives.
Enough is enough. If I am trolled anymore there wil b a problem for some people. pic.twitter.com/BUjDNFN2xl

Marvi also said that the Pakistani media needs to look for a better topic to talk about and stop spreading false rumours. She also took a jab at the PML-N, warning that if she spilled the beans, its “super ethical” image would be tarnished.
Bec if I tell the actual facts the pmln leadership’s super ethical image wld sink n it’s already sunk enough due to its own follies n I don’t want to add to that in it’s down time. https://t.co/BL5SyneMm8

She also clapped back at some trolls.

I am a woman so u think it’s ok to troll me. 2 yrs of this everytime I type anything on twitter. U think it’s normal? https://t.co/WcnJWPhdJJ

Interesting chauvinistic attitudes again. I shld face music today. I hav been facing the trolling since two years. Others hav faced Allah’s wrath since then. Not music. Wrath. https://t.co/DUxAmyE8dO
