London: People, who were seemingly Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters, threw a bottle and hurled abuses at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hina Parvez Butt, drawing severe condemnation from Twitterati.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Hina lashed out at her assaulters and wrote: “Rude and unruly PTI people have stooped to the extent of assaulting me in front of my son in London, throwing bottles at me and hurling foul abuse at me. “Are these uncivilised people making Pakistan’s name bright or defaming it?”
As the video went viral, condemnations poured in on social media, terming the act reprehensible. Many users felt that despite the political grievances that people may have, such acts were taking things too far.
In the videos that went viral on social media, it was seen that a bottle was thrown at the former lawmaker while she was on a street in London.
In another video, a man who was part of the mob, could be seen carrying a PTI flag and hurling abuses at Butt. The video showed that her son was clearly disturbed.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred, previously former information minister Marriyum Aurangzeb was heckled in a coffee shop last year in September. Former planning minister Ahsan Iqbal too faced such treatment at the hands of PTI supporters. –Agencies
