ISLAMABAD – Minister for Science and Technology, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain has reportedly slapped anchorperson Mubashir Lucman at a wedding ceremony in Lahore, it emerged on Sunday.
The incident occurred following a heated exchange between Chaudhry and Lucman over a scandal involving TikTok star Hareem Shah during the wedding ceremony of Punjab Irrigation Minister Mohisn Laghari’s son.
