People have no idea about the number of Hamza Shehbaz's marriages, she said

(Web Desk) – In the backdrop of Ayesha Gulalai’s allegations of sexual harassment against Imran Khan, Ayesha Ahad has made her way into the limelight by announcing to knock the door of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against her former husband and PML-N lawmaker Hamza Shehbaz.

She claimed the son of Punjab CM Shehbaz Sharif married her with a lie in 2010, adding that she will present the evidence against him in ECP, not media. She hoped for a decision in her favour, complaining that no committee was formed to investigate her case. She said Nawaz Sharif is standing behind the same door as she was in the past.

Talking to a press conference in Lahore, she claimed Hamza Shehbaz is neither Sadiq nor Ameen, adding that the whole Sharif family had teamed up to defend the lies. She demanded a probe of her case with Hamza Shehbaz under another such committee. “Goons of Maqsood Butt were used to terrorise me,” she said while assuring that she doesn’t represent any political party.

In her plea, she requested the judiciary to listen to her concerns as she was knocking the court s doors for over seven years. I don t want any position or money, she said specifically. 

PTI leader Firdous Ashiq Awan was also present at the media talk where she said that both Ayeshas (Ayesha Gulalai and Ayesha Ahad) should be treated in the same way, adding that Ayesha Gulalai was used as a political tool. “I raised my voice for Ayesha Ahad when I was in PPP as well,” she recalled while calling her the nation s daughter.

Imran Khan also responded to the press conference and voiced support for Ayesha Ahad. Women rights activists should stand by Ayesha Ahad s quest for justice denied to her for 7 yrs ag physical + mental abuse by Hamza Sharif, he tweeted.
