In a recent video that had gone viral on social media, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Imran Ali Shah was seen slapping and thrashing a ‘poor’ man publically, while the MPA’s guards surrounded the man.
People took to Twitter and called upon PTI Chairman Imran Khan to ‘#KickImranShahOutOfPTI’
This is what they said:
Journalist Mansoor Ali Khan said, “This is a slap on the face of every Pakistani, a slap of honesty.”

Hassan Niazi said, “I’ve been a victim of this kind of physical torture by the private protocol guards. Totally unacceptable. He should resign if needed. New Pakistan has no space for this kind of protocol and bullying. Dr Imran Shah should be punished.”

MPA Shah later apologised for his actions in a video and met the man he had beaten in person to extend his apologies.
On the other hand, the MPA’s mother claimed that she and her son were tortured by Shah and his brother Junaid in their father’s clinic.
Dr Rehana Shah, the second wife of Imran Shah’s father Dr Muhammad Ali Shah, said, “Imran had threatened me and my son and we feel unsafe as he is now an MPA.”
