Masoodi in the notice has said that his father’s image was maligned during the debate. “Without any reasonable clue or proved evidence, my father was called as dalal of Pakistan in the debate, which has brought his honor and dignity to disrepute,” the notice copy reads, adding that “as a consequence of which my father suffered in terms of irreparable loss, injury to his business and reputation. Besides a serious prejudice, you have caused a mental agony to my father.”
“Under such compelling circumstances your derogatory remarks to call upon my father as an ISI agent or a link of ISI is highly risky and could end his life.

My father as such is threatened to pursue his business freely on account of false, frivolous, concocted and fictitious allegations leveled against him in the debate on your channel,” he said.
“Now on behalf of my father, I am authorised to ask to tender apology to my father on the same programme i.e, New Hour at 9:00 pm, within the next fifteen days of receiving this legal notice and also I am telling you to desist in future from highlighting the name of my father in such political debates and stop calling him Pakistan ke dalal, without any proven evidence or a fact,” the copy reads, adding that “also, I am asking you on behalf of my father to compensate in accordance with defamatory laws of this nation an amount of Rs one crore for exposing his life to high risk and loss of business and reputation.”
Masoodi in a notice has asked Navika Kumar, Managing Editor, Politics, Times Now, “in case you fail to compensate or apologies to my father in the next fifteen days from the receiving this legal notice, my father shall be forced to proceed against you and your news channel at your own peril, in accordance with the defamatory laws and other relevant provisions in our constitution.” (KNS)
