The information minister, earlier, in a press conference accused Khar of involvement in financial embezzlement. Reacting over the press conference, the former foreign minister in a tweet announced in a tweet that she will send a defamation notice to the minister.
“I am serving a defamation notice to the Hon Min for Information. In my 16 yrs in politics I have always chosen to ignore slander & false allegations but it seems politics has now been reduced to name calling, false accusations & character assassination,” she tweeted over Chaudhry’s allegations.

“Dear Hina Rabbani Khar plz find enclosed details of your default, now please pay your outstanding bills instead of wasting money on lawyers.. thank you,” he tweeted.
