The PML-N's Nasir Butt, who is at the centre of the controversy surrounding leaked videos of accountability judge Arshad Malik, has warned of legal action that he intends to take against Pakistani media outlets in the UK.
He took to Twitter today, claiming that he had prominent media networks from Pakistan in his sights.
In July of last year, the PML-N leadership held a press conference and alleged that judge Arshad Malik had been blackmailed into ruling against former PM Nawaz Sharif. In support of this claim Maryam Nawaz had played a secretly recorded video that she claimed was of a conversation between Nasir Butt and the judge.
Since then, both the PML-N loyalist and the judge have been subjected to much scrutiny in electronic and social media.
