Dubbing me an ISI agent has put my life in danger both in India, Pakistan, says Mehr Tarar

She alleged 45-year-old Tarar was an Inter-Services Intelligence agent trying to “break” her marriage while she was away for medical treatment.

Tarar, the mother of a 13-year-old son, shot off uncharitable barbs at Pushkar and defended herself.  

She said: “I am ready to take it if she calls me ugly or says I have bad dressing style. But ISI agent is something I don't understand. I have often spoken out against the establishment here.”

Tarar said Pushkar first called her “an ISI agent on December 25 after I had done an interview with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah about a Kashmir-centric law.

“I was sitting in a mall in Delhi writing a letter when I got the news in December. I cried then.”
