Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was heckled by a protester who demanded to “free” Balochistan province where activists say army is engaged in abductions, torture and killings.
As Sharif began delivering his address at the US Institute of Peace, a prominent independent think-tank in Washington, a protester raised slogans including “Free Balochistan” besides calling him a “friend of (Osama) Bin Laden”.
The man was also holding a poster that read “Free Balochistan”.
He was taken out of the auditorium by the security forces following the incident that forced the visiting premier, Sharif, to pause briefly and then resume his address.
