Detained Pakistani supermodel Ayyan Ali finally broke her silence in a court room while making her twelfth appearance. She claimed that she is facing discriminatory treatment in jail and media is doing false propaganda against her.
According to local media reports, Ms Ali pointed out that the other accused caught carrying double or triple the amount in their bags were released on bail after a couple of weeks but her request for bail was being denied. She also alleged that neither the Federal Board of Revenue nor any other institution had sought details of tax and property from other people accused in similar cases but in her case, each and every detail of her income and assets was under scrutiny.
She has also requested the court to stop media from false propaganda against her. She said she felt great bit of embarrassment after what had said against her in the media. She is being subjected to character assassination and is being linked to various political personalities.
Rejecting allegations of having links with political personalities, Ayyan claimed, “I have no connection with any political leader. I will take legal action against those who have started vicious campaign against me. I am a citizen of this country and I have certain rights but it appears that my constitutional rights have been taken away,” local media reported.
Ayyan also told the court that her modeling career is being affected due to unnecessary extension in bail.
