HANGU – A leader of PTI from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday roughed up a journalist when he asked a question about low number of party workers going to attend the party rally in Rawalpindi.
A video posted on social media shows PTI’s Village Council Chairman Gull Bagh Mohammad Arif Orakzai viciously beating up the reporter, identified as Esaar-ul-Haq, for asking: “Aren’t you failing in your mission to gather a large number of people for the rally?”
The media person was repeatedly kicked and punched by Orakzai when he sought answer from PTI MNA Nadeem Khayal of a question regarding the number of the party workers leaving Hangu for the Rawalpindi power-show.
