In a shocking incident at a hunger strike camp in Lahore, a female worker of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) assaulted theatre actor Tahir Anjum, tearing his clothes in the process.
Reports indicate that Tahir Anjum was passing by the Punjab Assembly when a PTI woman worker participating in the hunger strike camp slapped him. The woman, identified as Anila, accused Anjum of calling PTI founder Imran Khan a terrorist.
As Anjum walked by the protest site, Anila confronted him, leading to a physical altercation during which she slapped him and tore his clothes. The situation quickly escalated, and it required the intervention of bystanders to rescue Anjum from further harm.
The altercation arose from Anila’s accusation that Anjum had made derogatory remarks about Imran Khan, labeling him a terrorist. This accusation angered the PTI worker, resulting in the violent confrontation.
Tahir Anjum is not only a theatre actor but also the President of the Punjab chapter of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Culture Wing. This political affiliation may have contributed to the tension and aggression displayed during the incident.
