Women assaulted at PML-N rally in Pattoki

F.P. Report

PATTOKI: A woman present at the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) rally was assaulted here 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.

Women in the enclosure made efforts to save the girl and even 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 will be punished under the law.

Sanaullah assured that a case would be registered for the incident. He, however, said that misbehaving in political rallies started in PTI rallies.
