ISLAMABAD: Shahbaz Gill, former Chief of Staff of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has offered apology to minority Member of National Assembly Ramesh Kumar for passing derogatory remarks against him on a TV talk show ahead of the vote of no confidence in April last year.
Taking to Twitter late last night, Shahbaz Gill posted video of his meeting with Kumar and wrote that he was currently facing dozens of cases including the defamation cases filed by the Sharif family, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and others, which he would fight in the court.
یوں تو میرے اوپر درجنوں کیسسز چل رہے ہیں۔ جن میں شریف خاندان، شاہد خاقان عباسی صاحب نے بھی ہتک عزت کے کیسز کئے ہیں۔جنہیں میں عدالت میں لڑوں گا۔
لیکن رمیش کمار اقلیت سے ہیں اس لئے میں آج ان کے پاس گیا ہوں کیونکہ میری جدوجہد طبقاتی لڑائی کی ہے اور میں کسی اقلیت سے لڑنا نہیں چاہتا pic.twitter.com/Z5YyCCfxIW— Dr. Shahbaz GiLL (@SHABAZGIL) February 11, 2023
However, he added: “Ramesh Kumar is from a minority, so I went to him today because my struggle is against the class system, and I don’t want to fight with any minority. “
Acknowledging Shahbaz Gill’s gesture, MNA Ramesh Kumar also took to Twitter and posted a picture of the meeting saying: “Today Shahbaz Gill came to my home to apologise and express regret over the remarks.”
He added: “As it is our tradition in Sindh when someone comes to our home, we forgive them.”
Ramesh also announced the withdrawal of the defamation case filed by him against the PTI leader.
Today @SHABAZGIL came to my home to apologize and express regret over the remarks he made about me on @DunyaNews. As it is our tradition in #Sindh, when someone comes to our home, we forgive them. Accordingly, I have instructed my lawyer @imaanzhazir to withdraw defamation case. pic.twitter.com/hSTp7fkygU
