In this regard, Senator (R) Iqbal Haider, Senior Advocate Supreme Court, has already served a legal notice to the individuals involved with the program ‘‘Cross Fire’’.

The notice calls upon the addressees to withdraw defamatory remarks against Khan and offer an unqualified apology for the broadcast.
