Nasim Zehra vows to pursue legal action against Moeed Pirzada in new YouTube video

Pakistan’s prominent anchor Nasim Zehra has posted a new video on YouTube on Wednesday, reiterating her plans to pursue legal action against analyst and presenter Moeed Pirzada. In her short video, Zehra calmly addressed the four charges leveled against her by Pirzada during a recent vlog. She stated that she must respond to what she believes is slander.

Zehra addressed Pirzada directly in her video, stating that if he cannot understand certain things, it’s better to ask. She also tweeted earlier in the day, announcing her plans to file a defamation suit against him in a US court.

The dispute between the two prominent anchors started when Pirzada referred to Zehra’s discussion with journalist Hamid Mir on 24 News HD TV as “rubbish, deliberate, and scripted.” Pirzada spoke out against Zehra during Haider Mehdi’s vlog on April 23, which prompted her to seek legal action.

Pirzada also questioned who instructed Zehra to call for a court martial of former army chief Gen (Retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa during her recent program. He alleged that the discussion was planned and scripted to support political figures such as Nawaz Sharif, Mohsin Naqvi, Asif Ali Zardari, and Gen. Asim Munir.

Zehra responded to Pirzada’s remarks by stating that she will file a defamation suit against him in a US court and plans to release a vlog. She added that ignoring such slanderous comments would be inexcusable.
