ISLAMABAD: A PTI worker on Tuesday scuffled with their dissident lawmaker Noor Alam Khan at a private hotel.

Noor Alam was having iftar at the private hotel with PPP leaders Nadeem Afzal Chan, Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, and Faisal Karim Kundi when the incident occurred.

According to eyewitnesses, a PTI worker abused the MNA in Pashto and was told by Khan not to do so as it was a “family event”.

Onlookers further said that despite the MNA’s appeal to maintain decorum, the PTI worker continued to hurl abuses at the lawmaker.

The eyewitness said that when the PTI worker did not stop hurling abuses, Noor lost his cool and punched him. This led to a scuffle between the two. They added that PPP leaders Khokhar and Kundi also beat up the PTI worker.

Noor Alam was among the 20 dissident MNAs who had decided to support the Opposition in its no-confidence motion against their party leader Imran Khan.

The PTI has filed a reference against the dissident MNAs under Article 63(A). However, Noor Alam and the other dissident MNAs did not cast their vote against Imran Khan in the no-trust motion as the Opposition no longer required the numbers with the MQM-P flipping in its favour. 

Noor Alam, a former PPP member had joined the PTI ahead of the last elections, after joining the Imran Khan-led party he won the NA-27 (Peshawar-I) seat in the 2018 General Elections. 

This was not the first time that Noor Alam came under fire for his decision to go against Imran Khan. On March 19, two people — reportedly belonging to the PTI — threatened him for showing reservations against the PTI chief ahead of the voting on the no-confidence motion.

In a viral video, the two men could be seen abusing and threatening the PTI’s dissident lawmaker at a hotel in Islamabad. Sources privacy to the matter had said that the two men were the leaders of the PTI’s Canada chapter — who came to Islamabad to attend the overseas convention.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

On November 24, the PTI has scheduled a protest, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has declared his intention to participate.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
