In fact, the issue has stirred up the hornet’s nest in Punjab as local media generously displayed photographs of the 54-year-old Aroosa Alam who was in Chandigarh to clear the air regarding her ‘friendship’ with the Patiala royal family scion.

While the ravishing Aroosa Alam claimed at a press conference in Chandigarh that she was in India to visit Amarinder's ailing mother and admitted that Amarinder was her ‘good friend’, neither the media nor the rival Akali politicians are ready to buy the story.

Her ‘relationship’ with the former Chief Minister has not only led the Akali MLAs to raise a storm over the issue in the State Assembly, but also prompted the local media to publicize the issue. No doubt, Aroosa has alleged that the controversy was a creation of the Indian media.
 
Addressing the press meet, Aroosa had a difficult time replying to queries of her being an ISI agent and hence a threat to the country’s security. Stating that she has been visiting India much before she was acquainted to Amarinder Singh, Aroosa said that she strongly detested and felt disgusted at being labeled an ‘ISI agent’.

The glamorous Pakistani journalist, however, admitted that the Indian government had refused her visa to visit Punjab soon after the Assembly elections in the state.

Meanwhile, life has become more troublesome for the former Punjab Chief Minister with the Shahi Imam of the Ludhiana Jama Masjid Habib-ur-Rehman saying that ‘Islam does not permit any woman to call any man other than her husband her friend or ramble with him’.

The Imam, who is reported to be close to the Akalis, has issued a diktat directing all Muslims to boycott Aroosa for moving around with a man with whom she did not have any blood relation.

On her part, Aroosa has refuted all such allegations of her romance with Amarinder as sheer malice and described the Imam’s fatwa as a diktat of an illiterate clergy. Interestingly, amidst all the hue and cry, neither Amarinder’s mother and sister nor his wife Preneet Kaur has had anything to say against the journalist from Rawalpindi.
