Heated exchanges between two rival political parties on a TV show are a common sight, but it’s rare to come across.
In one such unfortunate incident, heated arguments and serious allegations between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s Naeem Haider Panjutha and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s Ikhtiar Wali Khan led to a scuffle while presenting their de respective political parties’ views on a live national television programme.
The video of their wrestling is doing the rounds on social media platforms, where Khan can be seen grabbing Panjutha by the shoulder and pushing him, after which the latter also got up from his seat and started the brawl. Both politicians rained punches and kicks on each other before being separated.
As they fought, host Fiza Khan kept asking them to stop it, after which members of the show team intervened to stop the fight.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that leaders of these two rival parties fought as relations between PTI and PML-N have been bitter for several years now.
A physical altercation took place between PML-N Senator Dr. Afnan Ullah Khan and PTI MNA Sher Afzal Marwat more than a year ago. PTI’s late Naeemul Haq and PML-N’s Daniyal Aziz also once exchanged blows on a TV show.
