PTI violated Pashtun traditions by targeting woman MPA Sobia: PML-N’s Muqam

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter Amir Muqam blasted on Saturday the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers and workers for misbehaving with one of his party’s female MPAs in the KP Assembly.

Addressing a news conference in Peshawar, the PML-N leader said that the PTI workers violated the “Pashtun traditions” by misbehaving with a woman MPA.

It is pertinent to mention that shoes and a ‘lota’ were thrown at PML-N MPA Sobia Shahid in the maiden session of the KP Assembly after she waved a wristwatch.

Later, a video went viral showing PTI lawmakers making derogatory and vulgar remarks against Sobia.

Muqam demanded an inquiry into the incident to reveal who issued cards to the culprits involved in hooting and abusing PML-N lawmakers especially woman MPAs of the opposition in the KP Assembly.

The PML-N leader vowed to approach the Federal Investigation Agency against the culprits. The party will take its matter to the federal institutions if the provincial government fails to act on the complaint, he added.

He also criticised the PTI leaders and lawmakers for failing to condemn the incident, while urging that the political differences should not be turned into personal animosity.
