Veena Malik-Asad Khattak reach Mufti Naeem for mediation
KARACHI: Stepping up efforts of reconciliation with Veena Malik, her husband Asad Bashir Khattak, reached Karachi to meet prominent religious scholar Mufti Naeem on Thursday.

The development came five days after a family court granted them divorce, ending their three-year marriage.

The court in Lahore accepted Veena’s ‘khula’ (divorce) application and ruled in her favour after non-pursuance of the case by Khattak.

The break-up occurred since the couple had developed some differences and could not live together. According to media reports, Veena Malik had complaints of being roughly treated by her husband.

However, Mufti Naeem of has offered his mediation in this matter in order to amicably resolve this issue.

“I have requested both Veena and Asad to meet me so that I can listen to them and resolve their differences”, said Mufti Naeem, while speaking to Samaa.

He said prominent religious scholar Tariq Jameel is also playing his role in the reconciliation.

It remains to be seen if Mufti Naeem is able to solve their differences, Asad Khattak seems to be optimistic while Veena still insists on separation.

He reached Jamia Binoria today where Veena Malik was also likely to come.
