PTI issues notice to MPA for slapping a man

Author: Agencies

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to its MPA Dr Imran Ali Shah after he was caught on video while slapping a man during a heated argument in the middle of a roach in Karachi.

The video that went viral on social media drew much ire, prompting the PTI MPA to clarify his position in a video message.

According to Dr Imran, he was driving by when he saw a man “repeatedly hitting the back of a poor man’s car”.

He then proceeded to ask the man to “apologise to the poor man”.”The man I had called out abused me and pushed me,” claimed Dr Imran.

In the video, Dr Imran’s guards could be seen restricting the citizen from following him as he walked to his car and drove away.

The MPA also apologised in his video clarification.

In a tweet, PTI Karachi president Firdaus Shamim Naqvi said that the party had sent a show-cause notice to Dr Imran and would disclose the facts related to the matter after an internal party inquiry.
