TV star Momina appeals to Punjab CM Maryam for 'justice' after receiving death threats

Gulf Today Report

TV actress Momina Iqbal on Wednesday appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for justice after facing online harassment and receiving death threats, local media reported.

Momina took to social media, claiming that she had been facing online harassment, cyberbullying, and death threats for a long time. She alleged that she and her family had endured severe mental stress and trauma due to the individual involved.

In a message shared on her Instagram story, Momina, without naming anyone, alleged that a Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) associated with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had been issuing threats to her for an extended period. She added that she had repeatedly reported the matter to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency and the Federal Investigation Agency, but no action was taken.

“Instead of ensuring justice, attempts have been made to suppress my complaints. Even individuals associated with the office of CM Maryam tried to discourage and silence the matter rather than allowing a fair investigation,” she said.

Momina added that as a result of speaking up and seeking legal action, she and her family were facing serious threats to their safety.

“I request the concerned authorities to immediately conduct an impartial investigation, provide protection to her family, and take strict legal action against those involved,” she said.

Further, Momina warned that if the matter continues to be ignored, she would be compelled to hold a public press conference and “present all available evidence against everyone involved in the harassment, threats, and suppression of my complaints to protect a political figure.”

The actor appealed to Maryam, saying she believed the chief minister “will take unbiased and lawful action against anyone found involved in abuse of power or obstruction of justice.”
