“As promised, I WILL NOT stand& watch lies propagate. I’ve officially taken Commissioner Rawalpindi Gulzar Shah to court for #RingRoadReport where he’ll have to prove: “Why he wrote in the report I ‘augmented’ influence w/o any proof.” Let nation & courts hear reasons behind the allegation!” he wrote.
In the notice, former SAPM says he has told the commissioner that a statement attributed to him in his report has tarnished his image.
The notice asks Gulzar Hussain Shah to submit his reply within 14 days; retract the statement attributed to Zulfi in the report; openly seek apology from him, and also issue a rebuttal of the statement attributed to the plaintiff.
