Pakistani actress Saba Qamar has addressed the controversy over her wearing a police uniform. The issue started after a petition claimed she appeared in a Punjab Police uniform without proper permission.
On Instagram, Qamar shared a screenshot of a news report and a copy of the official letter she submitted to authorities. She called the petition a publicity stunt and told critics to “kindly look elsewhere for publicity.”
Qamar stressed that all her achievements come from hard work. She advised critics to focus on themselves, saying, “Your time will come.”
The petition was filed by Wasim Zawar in a Lahore court. He claimed Qamar wore a police uniform with an SP rank badge without a no-objection certificate (NOC).
Zawar said he had applied to the Old Anarkali police station to register a case, but no action was taken. Lahore’s Additional Sessions Judge, Ilyas Rehan, heard the objections and adjourned the hearing until January 14.
To clear the confusion, Qamar shared a letter dated September 31, 2021, addressed to the Deputy Inspector General of Lahore Operations. The letter requested approval to buy and wear the police uniform for a DGPR Punjab project, aimed at promoting Pakistan’s image.
By sharing the letter, Qamar confirmed that she had full authorization. She encouraged the public to focus on their own journey rather than spreading false claims.
