PML-N politician Saqib Chadhar has made a new settlement claim in his ongoing dispute with actress Momina Iqbal.
Saqib alleged that a settlement demand initially stood at Rs20 crore. He claimed the amount was later reduced to Rs11 crore.
The politician rejected allegations of harassment against him. He said the dispute was instead linked to the alleged sharing of videos without permission.
According to Saqib, the relevant law restricts sharing someone’s video without their consent. He presented this point while explaining his version of the dispute.
Saqib Discusses Videos Circulating Online
Saqib also addressed videos involving himself and Momina Iqbal.
He claimed the videos were ordinary recordings made while they were sitting inside a car. He denied that the footage contained inappropriate material.
Saqib further alleged that Momina had recorded some of the videos herself. He said some of the footage later circulated online.
He claimed Momina showed one video to his wife during a phone call. According to him, the conversation took place around 2021 or 2022.
Saqib said he objected to the videos being shared publicly. He claimed he was told not to worry about the matter.
He said he later contacted Momina’s sister, Ramsha. Saqib claimed he asked her to prevent the videos from being uploaded.
According to him, he was concerned about protecting his reputation.
Settlement Demand Allegedly Reduced
Saqib then discussed the alleged settlement negotiations in detail.
He claimed Momina made the initial demand through her lawyer, Adnan Ahsan. According to Saqib, the lawyer initially sought Rs20 crore to resolve the dispute.
Saqib said he considered the amount excessive. He claimed the demand was subsequently reduced to Rs11 crore.
He said he asked for the demand to be provided in writing. According to him, documents were later given to him.
Saqib claimed those documents explained the reasons behind the financial demand. He questioned the allegations against him while discussing the reduction in the amount.
The settlement claim has not been independently verified. The documents mentioned by Saqib have also not been independently examined.
Claims About Their Past Relationship
Saqib also discussed his previous relationship with Momina.
He claimed they first met at an event in 2019. According to him, he proposed marriage during their early relationship. Saqib said Momina accepted his proposal. He claimed she later met his family.
He further stated that they became engaged in 2020. Saqib said Momina knew he was already married. He claimed he had disclosed his marital status from the beginning.
He also alleged that he did not know Momina had previously been divorced. According to Saqib, Momina regularly spoke with his wife over the phone. He claimed some conversations lasted around 90 minutes.
Saqib said he possesses evidence related to those conversations. However, the evidence has not been independently reviewed.
Claims Involving Ramsha
Saqib also spoke about his relationship with Ramsha.
He said he treated her like a sister and supported her education. He claimed he sent her to Australia for further studies.
Saqib also said he later provided her with a job at his company there. He alleged that a dispute later developed between them in Australia.
According to him, one of his friends faced a harassment case there. He also claimed a separate financial claim was filed for around $1 million.
Saqib said the matter eventually ended through a substantial settlement. He claimed Ramsha later returned to Pakistan.
These allegations have not been independently verified.
Dispute Remains Unresolved
Saqib said he has evidence supporting his version of events. However, the material he referenced has not been independently examined.
His latest comments have added another dimension to the dispute with Momina Iqbal.
The politician has continued to reject the harassment allegations against him. He has instead described the matter as a dispute involving videos and settlement discussions.
The settlement claim remains based on Saqib’s account of the alleged negotiations. No independent verification of the claims or referenced documents was provided in the available information.
Further developments may depend on any legal proceedings and evidence presented by both sides.
