PATTOKI: A woman attending the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) rally was harassed on Tuesday.
The woman, a resident of Kasur, is a member of the PML-N women’s wing.
“I came here to support the party, but the treatment by those present here is shameful,” she said.
The incident occurred when men entered the women enclosure after Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s speech.
Pictures from the rally clearly show men present at the rally misbehaving with the woman.
Other female members in the enclosure making efforts to save the woman, used sticks to hit the men misbehaving with the girl and afterward managed to escort her out of the enclosure.
Taking notice of the incident, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said those responsible would be punished under the law.
Sanaullah assured that a case would be registered against the incident, and added that misbehaving in political rallies started in those organized by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
