KARACHI: Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) MPA Nusrat Sahar Abbasi announced in the S
indh Assembly on Monday that she was
forgiving Imdad Pitafi after he put a
dupatta on her head and called her his sister.

She added, “For the sake of this
dupatta and because he called me his sister, I am
forgiving him. It is a tradition in Sindh that when a shawl is used as a sign of
forgiveness, then the other person accepts it.”
Nusrat added that it was upsetting when arguments lik
e the one that broke out on Friday occurred in the assembly.
She said, “I
had decided to take one extreme step, but Bilawal and Bakhtawar understood me.”
