ISLAMABAD – Naeem ul Haque, the Chief of Staff to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman, Imran Khan, has revealed the reaction of his boss over the slapping incident involving Daniyal Aziz.
Naeem posted a short video on Friday and claimed that Khan had lavished praise on him for physically assaulting Minister for Privatization, Daniyal Aziz during a TV show, earlier this week.
“Imran Khan has termed the action appropriate, as the person in question was spewing venom from quite a long time now,” asserted Naeem.
The senior PTI leader continued that many of the leaders of PML-N respected him adding that his ‘slap’, which was a natural reaction, was also liked by the party loyalists on a mass scale.
Naeemul Haque Slaps Daniyal Aziz
Firebrand leaders of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf appeared on a Geo TV show ‘Aapas Ki Baat’ last night in which Naeemul Haque slapped Minister for Privatisation Daniyal Aziz.
The brawl erupted when Aziz called Haq a ‘thief’ following which the PTI leader lost his temper.
The show host, Muneeb Farooq, however, managed to defuse the tense situation following the fight.
Naeem Defends Move
A few days earlier, Naeem ul Haque had justified slapping Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz leader Daniyal Aziz in a TV show.
The PTI leader took to Twitter on Wednesday and expressed that it was unfortunate spur of the momentary reaction, in a reference to slapping Daniyal Aziz.

However, Naeem defended his move by stating that Daniyal Aziz used abusive language against PTI leadership.
He termed the commentary of Minister for Privatisation Daniyal Aziz against Pak Army ‘regrettable, unacceptable and condemnable’.
Instead of tendering an apology for losing his cool, Naeem advised his political fellow to ‘mend his ways and stop spinning mistruths’.
