Long wait for #pakmedia reporters and cameramen present at Lahore press club to cover uzma khan's press conference. Looks like its about to begin.

Okay the women are seated right and left to mian ali ashfaq who says he is their lawyer. Hassan niazi is also accompanying them.

Man says mein nay zari baat media par daal dene hay kay tum log air kar saktay ho. Woman responds in hmm hmm.
Dont realise mics are on?

Conference on now. Lawyer thanks media for showing up. Says he hopes #pakmedia will air their conference.
Says he is representing uzma and Hassan. Will lodge a complaint with FIA under cyber laws against amna.

Lawyer says no better judge than public. Thanks the person who released the video as it helped in setting public opinion.

Okay! Desi Saul contender.

Lawyer says media should verify if this house belongs to Usman Malik. Check the rent agreement, ownership.

Says amna's admission is there she entered the house. Says legally amna cant enter the house even if it belonged to her husband.

Non-bailable offence, 7 yr imprisonment.

"Nangi ankh/naked eye"

Trespassing, mischief so far.

Video shows guards being urged to molest girls, says lawyer. We request police to 506/B should be added instead of 506. Investigations should be carried out based on evidence.

Police said they are majboor, at SHO level, says lawyer. Thanks IG Punjab and other officials for getting the case registered.

Media walas saying let the girls talks.

Lawyer says you can't force them to talk without consent. Uzma now talking.

All questions will be answered by my lawyer and khadeeja, says uzma khan.

Reporters getting restless for sound bytes.

Hassan says we are not blaming media, you can't force uzma to talk, she already has pressure of malik riaz.

Lawyer says Uzma Khan ki jan ko khatraat hay (threat to Zuma's life).

Lawyers says uzma had a 2 year relationship with Usman malik. Usman wanted to marry him. She said no. The family knew all this since 2019, he adds.

"Uzma is free to talk"

Reporter asks uzma what Usman was doing at her house in night. Another asks how many times did Amna warn you to stay away from her husband.

Uzma asks "aur kisi ka Sawal hay?"

Another qs: why were you apologising in the video?

Uzma says she had a 2-yr relationship with usman. Saw his wife first time on chand raat.

Lawyer says she said (ref to video) to save her life.

Uzma says lain dain karna hota to yeha baithi na hoti.

Rent agreement made in Babar naseems name who is also a friend of uzma, he says.

Lawyer says malik riaz is also a victim here. ISI is also a victim here.

Reporter asks question on PIC attack, ignored.
Another one asks why was she receiving expensive gifts. She responds "his wife should ask him".

Uzma says they will have to answer why they did what they did. Usman is still sending me messages, will prove in court he is calling me.

Lawyer demands security for uzma, says threat to her life. Calls for independent investigation, upholding law. Nothing is bigger than law.
Hassan says kerosene was not thrown on uzma, says initial response was based on info.
Also says does not know if Zina clause has been added.

Press conference over.

After seeing the reaction of reporters (aggressive questioning), uzma khan looked a bit shocked.

Her demeanor at the start of presser was so different, looked lost towards the end.

The zina clause question knocked the wind out of her.
