The Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML) has sent a legal notice to the Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, demanding that she apologize within seven days over what the party describes as defamatory and baseless allegations against it.
The notice was issued on the instructions of the party’s president, Khalid Masood Sindhu, through lawyer Muhammad Amir Habib.
It calls on Maryam Nawaz to apologize for her remarks, delete the relevant post from social media platform X, formerly Twitter, and provide a written assurance that she will not repeat similar statements in future.
The party has warned that it reserves the right to initiate legal proceedings if the demands are not met within seven days.
According to the legal notice, the chief minister of Punjab allegedly linked the PMML with banned and terrorist organizations in statements made through the media and social media.
The party rejected the allegations, saying it was a registered political party with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and had contested the 2024 general elections under the electoral symbol of a chair.
The notice also states that the party emerged as the second-largest political group in the 8 November 2026 by-election in National Assembly constituency NA-77, Gujranwala.
The legal move follows remarks by Maryam Nawaz during the NA-77 by-election campaign, in which she criticized opposition parties and alleged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had formed an alliance with other organizations in the contest.
She also called on the ECP to take notice of the alleged political alliance.
