Nilofar serves legal notice on Lal Masjid
Former Tourism Minister Senator Nilofar Bakhtiar served a legal notice on the Lal Masjid shariat court on Wednesday for issuing a fatwa asking her to apologise for hugging a male paragliding instructor in France. The notice served through Dr Aslam Khaki said the fatwa damaged Bakhtiars reputation, family honour and political career. The notice asks Mufti Yunus, who issued the decree, to apologise for un-Islamic and unlawful conduct that hurt the dignity of an honourable Muslim lady. The notice, seen by Daily Times, warned that failure to apologise would result in civil and legal proceedings. Bakhtiar visited France in March where, aside from attending a fundraiser, she went paragliding. Upon completing a successful jump, her instructor Mario congratulated her with a hug.
