Former CJP’s son admits having a heated argument with PTI MNA but denies Murad Saeed slapped him

PTI MNA demands apology from Arsalan for ‘hurling abuses’ at party chief Imran Khan

 

Dr Arsalan Iftikhar, son of former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, on Saturday denied there had been any physical altercation between him and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Murad Saeed during the recording of a television programme on Friday.

Talking to a private news channel, Arsalan admitted that hot words had been exchanged between him and Saeed, a member of the National Assembly from PTI, but there was no physical clash.

Rumours spread on Friday suggested that MNA Saeed had became so agitated from allegations hurled against PTI chief Imran Khan by Dr Arsalan, that the MNA slapped him.

On Saturday both Arsalan and Saeed separately denied this.

“We only exchanged hot words at the talk show,” Arsalan said. “Had anyone slapped me, I would not have kept sitting quietly.”

On allegations that he abused the PTI chief, Dr Arsalan said, “Imran Khan used unparliamentary language against my father.”

Separately, Saeed denied slapping the former chief justice’s son and clarified his position through his Twitter account. Murad said that Dr Arsalan was abusing his party chief and demanded an apology.

Meanwhile, Absar Alam, the anchorperson of the show in which the altercation between the two young men took place played a video recording of Friday’s incident on his show on Saturday to dispel the slap rumours.

The footage shows Murad Saeed nudging Arsalan Iftikhar’s arm when the latter was criticising Imran Khan for levelling accusations at his father, the former chief justice.

  1. This is a shame. What sort of education and examples our politicians and educated people give to the masses. Democracy means give and take. But in this country, democracy means take and take but do not take any blame. PTI should take action against this MNA. This sort of behaviour is not bring any good name to PTI.

  2. My only question to DR. Iftikhar is what makes you so distinguished in Pakistan. Surely it is not your medical background! People living in glass houses should not throw stones.
