Peshawar: A Pakistani teenager on Thursday thrashed a lawmaker of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf over the alleged insult of a retired General in this northwestern city.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Azhar Jadoon was attending the launch ceremony of Sehat ka Insaf programme in his home district Abbotabad, the Garrison town of KP, when a teenager assaulted him.
"Jadoon was sitting on stage when a teenager rose from the audience and rushed towards him. The teenager then slapped and punched Jadoon repeatedly," an eyewitness said.
In a video which has gone viral on social media, the lawmaker can be seen slapping and kicking the teenager back.
