The allegation is completely false

Leader. Syed shahid Hakim (now deceased) and as per the instructions given by Hakim to his wife Sadia Syeda and his family members namely Mohammad Abdul Samad and Mohammad Shariq Daniyal Akhtar, they have considered this during their lifetime.

If such reporting continues, the producers will be forced to initiate appropriate action including defamation proceedings against the offenders.
