A group of angry Pakistani youths harassed Pakistani journalist and YouTuber Imran Riaz Khan and his family when they were at London’s supermarket.
As per information on social media, the defiant YouTuber and strong supporter of PTI and Imran Khan was shopping with his family at a supermarket located near Ashton Old Road in Clayton when a group of men surrounded him and began chanting slogans.
The youths allegedly chanted ‘Traitor, Traitor,’ accusing Khan of betraying Pakistan for leaving his homeland amid hard times. Tensions escalated as they continued to taunt him for his decision to move abroad covertly.

After a brief confrontation, Khan, who was traveling in a black Mercedes, left and headed to a nearby restaurant, but the harassers chased him to the restaurant. After being heckled, Khan quickly left the eatery.
The incident sparked concern within the Pakistani diaspora in Britain, raising questions about the growing tensions surrounding social media figures and the sense of division between those who have left Pakistan.
Imran Riaz left Pakistan for the UK amid harassment over his support for Imran Khan and opposition to the military establishment. Once a prominent TV anchor and social media figure, he amassed millions of followers by strongly supporting PTI and using his platforms to criticize the armed forces and the coalition government.
