Pakistan’s minister for privatisation Daniyal Aziz was slapped by a senior leader of Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf during a TV talk show.

A 36-second clip posted on Geo News website showed Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Naeemul Haque and Aziz mudslinging each other’s party in the Aapas Ki Baat programme on Tuesday.

Then all of a sudden Aziz, in an aggressive tone, addressed Haque and said: “Am I afraid of you... afraid of thieves like you.”

Haque lost his temper when Aziz called him a “thief”.

Aziz kept his cool after being slapped and just said: “How dare you slap me?” At this Haque retorted: “How dare you call me a thief?”

Pakistan’s former ousted prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supemo Nawaz Sharif said “it showed culture of PTI”.

This is not the first time Haque is getting involved in such trouble. In 2011, during a TV show, he threw a glass of water on Pakistan Peoples Party leader Jameel Soomro. PTI
