  • London Police detain Imran Khan’s nephew, other supporters for throwing bottles at stage, causing ruckus during PPP chairman’s speech
  • Bilawal House says young PPP leader stood his ground and completed the speech

London Metropolitan Police took into custody Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s nephew and some other party supporters for disrupting the speech of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at the Kashmiris’ “million-man” march in London’s Trafalgar Square on Sunday.

Per reports, Bilawal was forced to cut his speech short when rowdy PTI protesters led by Khan’s nephew Hasan Niazi reportedly started throwing water bottles at him.‎ They also shouted “Go Nawaz Go” and “Go Bilawal Go” slogans.

The “million march” was held to demand a just and peaceful resolution of longstanding Kashmir issue and saw thousands of people rally through central London in protest against India’s human rights violations in Kashmir.

However, it seems politicking was not welcome at the rally as some participants objected to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s presence at the stage.

Niazi says he was briefly detained by the UK police after the incident, according to a tweet from his official account.

“I was detained for little while but then released- nothing serious. I protested bcz #babychicken misused the stage #KashmiriMillionMarch,” Niazi tweeted.

Following the incident, Bilawal’s sister Aseefa Bhutto Zardari tweeted that her brother is safe and alleged that Indian agents tried to stop him from speaking but they did not succeed.

“Indian agents tried 2 stop my brother from speaking but Alhamdulillah they did NOT succeed. He completed his speech & Alhamdulillah he is safe,” Aseefa tweeted.

According to details, some people started throwing stuff at the PPP chairman, including bottles, tomatoes and eggs when he came on stage to address the participants of the ‘Million March’, forcing him to leave.

According to a statement from Bilawal House in Karachi, “some unidentified people tried to disrupt the party chief’s speech at the Kashmir rally but he faced the unruly mob with bravery and completed his address to the participants”.

Commenting on the incident, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz lashed out at the PTI in a tweet, saying that several people belonging to a certain family were involved in hooliganism against rival parties‎. She also confirmed that Hasan Niazi was involved in the incident in London.

Meanwhile, some unconfirmed reports said that some “Indians” had attempted to sabotage Bilawal’s speech. The information could not be independently verified.

Bilawal had recently created quite a stir in the Indian media when he lashed out at the Indian occupation of Kashmir, saying Kashmir is and would always be Pakistan’s part.

“Lavangey lavangey poora Kashmir lavangey. Humara nara sab se bhari, Rai shumari Rai shumari,” Bilawal said in a tweet before his address.

  1. The rally was for Kashmiris and its really sad that PTI made fun of Kashmiris and pakistan in front of the whole world. Thatwas truly a reprehensible act as the march was not pro-bilawal or pro-nawaz but pro-kashmiris

  2. Unless we start respecting the mandate of the people in a democracy, sanity will elude us for a long time to come. There are courts where Mr Khan can take his case and fight rather than on the streets.
    Also for Mr Bhutto, internationalising the issue is not going to help much, Palestinian issue being a case in point.

  3. Is he so terrified about the india Pakistan partisan he is provoking domestic voilence how rude can he get and loose his own self respect due to irrespectively land kashmir its not a toy cart or a papper boat mr bilawal people yet need your civilization the democrats are much more organised and intact of the situation how will their country be with any powerful resources from india how a pitty boy.

  4. It is unfortunate that a political leader like Imran Khan will try to disrupt million mmarch in UK, shame on him . He sonsiders himself leader of Pakistan & chapion of human rights in Kashmir. His true face showed in London.

  8. Pakistani political leadership has no national pride,they are looking for themselves & any one who does some thing constructive will e stabed behind his back, the issue of kashmir is core issue but political leadership of pakistan use this issue to get publicity ,nothing else,whether ,he is imran ,nawaz or Bilawal ,they are all look ing for their own intrest ,not Pakistan ,not Kashmir. They want their own families & bank account . It is sad news that human rights violation,rape,torture ,extra judicail killings & disapperance of civilans by Indian Army & para military forces is still going on & world is silent & pakistani leadeship is fighting among themselves & criminals in Pakistan are ruling the country with guns. .
