Barrister Khadija Siddique has announced that she no longer wishes to associate herself with Uzman Khan’s case of violence against Malik Riaz’s daughters.
Khadija along with Hassaan Niazi was the part of Uzma’s legal team. Recently Khadija announces this news on Twitter saying:
“This is to announce that we are disassociating from #UzmaKhan case. I understand the reasons for any settlement by two aggrieved women in a rigged system; my conscience doesn’t allow me to be part of any of that, even in a professional capacity. Struggle against lawlessness continues”

The news of a settlement between both parties is yet not confirmed. Earlier Uzma Khan revealed that she was being offered for settlement and even her lawyers are under extensive pressure.
