Imdad Pitafi sparked criticism for his remarks in Sindh Assembly, which were seen by many as innuendo, while responding to a question posed by Functional League lawmaker Sehr Abbasi during a question and answer session.
Meanwhile, talking to Geo News today, Pitafi said he extends apology to Abbasi over his remarks, adding that he would visit her house personally for apology.
On this Sehr demanded PPP leadership force Pitafi to resign. She also remanded that the assembly membership of PPP lawmaker be revoked.
Nusrat Abbasi said, “I will challenge Pitafi at every forum and initiate legal action against him.”
