Inamullah Khattak, a senior journalist, faced allegations of being ill-mannered from Maryam Nawaz after questioning her ownership of London flats. He asserts that asking questions is his journalistic right.

Summary

ISLAMABAD – Senior DawnNews Television journalist Inamullah Khattak (pictured) on Tuesday said he saw nothing wrong with his questions that have reportedly upset Maryam Nawaz.

He told JournalismPakistan.com that as a reporter asking questions was his right and that it should not annoy Ms. Maryam if they were not to her liking.

Khattak was reportedly termed “ill-mannered ” by Maryam, the daughter of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. She even spoke to her father about the journalist.

In one instance at the Accountability Court, Khattak asked her if she was the beneficial owner of the London flats or not.

It is not the first time that the journalist has directed questions at her.

Recently he also asked Nawaz Sharif why he was mum on former Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar. The former PM retorted: “Why are you so worried; go ask this to Pervaiz Rasheed (former information minister).”
