She later revealed in a tweet that she had been drugged before the incident took place.
In her video, Cynthia Ritchie also claimed that former health minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin and former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani physically manhandled her. She said that Yousuf Raza Gilani manhandled her while he was staying at the President House.
The incident occured at IM’s house in min enclave 2011 around the OBL incident. I thought it a meeting about my visa but I was given flowers/ a drugged drink. I kept quiet – who in PPP gov’t would help me against PPP IM?
Recently they attacked family; I’ve had it. Ready to face any accuser.
And, yes, I did tell someone at the UsEmb in 2011, but due to ‘fluid’ situation and ‘complex’ relations between US and Pakistan, response was less than adequate.
I’ve been engaged to a wonderful man who I met in Pakistan. He encouraged me to speak out, so we can move on as a couple.
There is much more. But now I need a few days to rest and be alone with my fiance. I’m tired.
I ask the PPP leadership @BBhuttoZardari to tell its people to leave my family alone.
I will be ready to meet any and all investigators, as is required by law, as early as next week.
Responding to the allegations in an exclusive interview with Dunya News, Yousuf Raza Gilani said that it would be an insult to respond to the allegations of the woman and the accuser should be ashamed of making such an allegation.
Yousuf Raza Gilani said that this woman has also made peculiar allegations against Benazir Bhutto, which no one can tolerate. He said that Ali Haider Gilani and Ali Qasim have gone to court on this issue.
He also questioned what the accuser was doing in the Presidency in the first place and asked who gave her the right to make accusations against politicians.
