Pakistan Muslim League (Functional) (PML-F) lawmaker Nusrat Sahar Abbasi on Monday 'forgave' Pakistan Peoples Party MPA Imdad Pitafi after he draped a chador over her as a symbol of his 'respect' for her.
Holding a bottle of petrol in her hand, Abbasi had threatened self-immolation in the Sindh Assembly earlier today if Pitafi was not sacked for his misogynistic remarks against her during Friday's proceedings in the Sindh Assembly.
Pitafi, the minister for works and services, caused a furore in the Sindh Assembly on Friday when, in response to a question asked by Abbasi, he invited her to his chamber for what he called a "satisfactory reply".
