Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf said while speaking in the National Assembly that “it has been reported that Pinky, a woman arrested in the drug case, has taken my name”.
“However, the woman’s lawyer has later clarified the position himself,” the PPP MNA said.
“I have a clean record, but apprehending someone else becomes a victim of the conspiracy,” Raja Pervaiz further added.
He called for strict action against those involved in defaming others. He also stressed the need to eliminate the spread of fake news in the country.
“A person must not be disgraced or scandalised until allegations are not being proved against him,” Raja Pervaiz Ashraf said.
“My party has taken immediate notice of this matter,” the former prime minister said.
“I have passed a clean life and held the offices of the prime minister and speaker,” he clarified while speaking in the National Assembly.
