Lahore (Pakistan News) — The Central Muslim League has sent a legal notice to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz over allegations describing the party as an illegal and terrorist organisation. The notice demands that she apologise within 7 days and remove the controversial social media posts.
In the legal notice, Maryam Nawaz has been asked to apologise for her allegations and delete the relevant posts from social media platform X and other platforms. She has also been asked to provide a written assurance that such defamatory allegations will neither be repeated in the future nor circulated through any other means.
The notice warns that if an apology is not issued within the stipulated period, the Central Muslim League reserves the right to initiate legal proceedings.
The legal notice was issued by Advocate Muhammad Aamir Habib on the instructions of party president Khalid Masood Sindhu. It maintains that the Central Muslim League is a duly registered political party with the Election Commission of Pakistan, but Maryam Nawaz described it as an illegal and terrorist organisation through her personal social media account and in statements to the media.
According to the notice, the Central Muslim League contested the 2024 general elections under its electoral symbol, the 'Chair', and emerged as the second-largest party in the November 8, 2026 by-election in National Assembly constituency NA-77 Gujranwala.
Through the legal notice, the party has demanded that the Punjab chief minister apologise for her allegations and refrain from making similar statements in the future.
