I have neither sent whatever other content to welcome her or to set up a meeting, nor did I call her. She won't have confirmation of some other message." 

"After this content, she called me the following day, saying that she needed to meet me. At that point, she came to meet me. I had advised her that I will be at Geo TV for iftar transmission, so on the off chance that you come, then interfere with 1pm and 4pm." 

Alone time 

At the point when their meeting took place, Qandeel keeps up that she was separated from everyone else with him generally.

I listened to each of them, she was additionally there and listening to them. I additionally listened to her. All individuals left one by one after which Qandeel said a few things which I specified." 

"When I went to do my wuzu [ablutions], Qandeel wore my cap. When I communicated my astonishment, she said that she wore my cap for barkat [blessings] in light of the fact that she didn't have a dupatta." 

"What she did in the moment or two after that, all the photos that she took are before you." 

'I party a considerable measure so...'

"He called me, I didn't comprehend what he resembled. In any case, when I met him, I perceived how he resembled. He was diverse before others than he was with me. He would fake it around other individuals." 

"You may have known about his fatwa, he said that agreement nikkahs are jaez [allowed] and he has stand out malka however has done nikkah 17 times. He said he had heard I was not extremely well off, and afterward said he procures cash and has a great deal of area in Multan and even gave me a business card with his different titles on it. Despite everything I have this business card." 

A kiss and an embrace

"[He attempted to] kiss me and embrace me. You know in showbiz, young ladies are now and again intense so we approve of it. I was giggling and letting him know not to do it. He ceased then and said 'I know you can't phasaofy [trap] a young lady in the initially meeting. As our relationship creates, we will turn out to be more open with each other'." 

"He couldn't control his feelings. He was extremely passionate and made numerous endeavors to embrace and kiss me. The couch I was perched on, he sat on it and attempted to make out with me. At that point he would stop when I requesting that he stop. At that point he'd attempt once more. At that point he began discussing sentiment. He let me know he knows how to allure a lady and said 'You need to do this, begin from the ear and then...' Main ne bola wah Mufti sahib ko tau sentiment karna bhi ata hai [Wow, Mufti sahib knows how to romance]." 

'Complete garbage' 

Mufti Qavi says every one of this is false. 

"I don't have anything to do with the "fahashi" she's discussing. She exited fulfilled by her appreciation and nobility set up. She said she would visit Multan on the second day of Eid and meet my mom." 

"A while after she cleared out, I got telephone calls from individuals saying they saw photographs and recordings on TV stations and that Qandeel had been stating something. At first I believed that whatever she's maxim, she will most likely be stating the proper thing. Be that as it may, then when I was told she said I was lying, then I said 'God help us, she has a free character'. I don't know whether she's doing only this or affected by another person." 

As indicated by Mufti Qavi, Qandeel is currently requesting his pardoning. 

"I got her message requesting pardoning for her oversights. I've pardoned her and I've advised her that in the event that she has any issues later on, she ought to converse with me as opposed to taking part in accuse recreations."

"Individuals are continually going back and forth for taaweez or different reasons. On the off chance that she comes, we are exceptionally open, anybody can come to see us." 

Discuss former events. Also, what of the occupation that the selfies have taken a toll him? 

"I believe that each position or respect you accomplish is from Allah. To start with, I was given a position, I spoke to the Markazi Ruet-i-Hilal Committee, the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MORA). I remained a part for a long time. Presently the Markazi Ruet-i-Hilal Committee is being disbanded. The meeting now is the last meeting." 

"After this, another council will be made. I won't dissent the choice made by the MORA however I will say I think they settled on the choice in flurry. Aside from this, I have no grumblings. Whatever choice they have taken, I have no issue with it." 

Qandeel's thought on his suspension? 

"It's provisional right? So he'll return, he has heaps of sources, he will be back. He's a "dou number" individual, it's valid. I've seen his identity myself."
