 "Sabir Ali's wife stages protest outside Naqvi residence")
Expelled JD(U) leader Sabir Ali's wife Yasmin today staged a protest outside BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi's residence here demanding an apology over his controversial remarks that her husband was close to terrorists.
"I will sit here till I get justice. He (Naqvi) should prove the allegation or give an apology letter," Yasmin told reporters outside Naqvi's residence.
The police initially requested Yasmin to move away from Naqvi's Pandara Park house but when she refused to budge, women police officers detained her and took her away.
Naqvi had attacked Ali as "a friend of terrorist Yasin Bhatkal" and strongly opposed his entry into the party, terming it a "mistake" that needed to be rectified.
Ali, in a press conference yesterday had demanded apology from Naqwi. Yasmin, who was also present, had threatened to sit on a dharna in front of Naqvi's house if the BJP leader did not apologise.
