In a troubling display of aggression during a live television debate, PML-N leader Kausar Kazmi slapped PTI’s Azhar Siddique.
The altercation occurred on Hum Dekhen Gey with Mansoor Ali Khan, following a tense discussion between the two politicians.
Before the slap, Kazmi urged Siddique to maintain a political focus and avoid personal attacks. But the situation escalated, and although the incident did not air live, behind-the-scenes footage revealed Kazmi standing up and striking Siddique as Khan attempted to restore order.
This incident marks yet another instance of violence erupting during political discourse on television after former prime minister Imran Khan’s lawyer Sher Afzal Khan Marwat assaulted PML-N Senator Afnan Ullah Khan on a live media show last year.
