Sher Afzal Marwat, a lawyer associated with Imran Khan's pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and Afnan Ullah, a senator associated with Nawaz Sharif's pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), were the two politicians engaged. When senator Afnan Ullah Khan levelled accusations against PTI leader Imran Khan, accusing him of misbehaviour and secret contacts with the military establishment, the verbal sparring swiftly got out of hand.
Both politicians used social media to explain their behaviour after the event. Marwat used Afnan Ullah's disparaging remarks against PTI leader Imran Khan as justification for his violent retaliation.Senator Afnan Ullah Khan, on the other hand, declared his support for nonviolence while defending his activities as a supporter of Nawaz Sharif. Despite my belief in non-violence and the fact that I am a Nawaz Sharif soldier, Marwat assaulted me at a talk programme yesterday. All PTI members, but notably Imran Khan, should learn from the trick played on Marwat since it will need them to wear large, dark spectacles in order to perceive the form.
