Moeen Qureshi to Pay 84 Million Rupees in Damages to Uzma Bukhari, Lawyer Says

October 20, 2026 • 3 weeks ago •

ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister Moeen Qureshi is set to pay 84 million rupees in damages to politician Uzma Bukhari, as confirmed by his legal representative. This decision comes after a court ruling regarding a defamation case brought against Qureshi.

The lawyer representing Bukhari stated that the payment is a significant victory for their client, who accused Qureshi of making defamatory remarks that harmed her reputation. The court’s decision underscores the importance of accountability in political discourse and sets a precedent for similar cases in the future.

This ruling could have broader implications for political figures in Pakistan, as it highlights the legal risks associated with public statements and the potential for financial repercussions. It also raises questions about the conduct of politicians and the standards of public discourse in the country.

As the legal process unfolds, observers are keen to see if Qureshi will appeal the decision or comply with the payment. This case may prompt further discussions on the need for clearer guidelines regarding defamation and political speech in Pakistan.
