Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was forced to cut short his speech short at the “Million March” in London on Sunday when rowdy protesters reportedly started throwing water bottles at him, Express News reported.
The “Million March” was held to demand a just and peaceful resolution of longstanding Kashmir issue and saw thousands of people rally through central London in protest against India’s human rights violations in Kashmir.
However, it seems politicking was not welcome at the rally as some participants objected to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s presence at the stage. PTI chief Imran Khan’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, also seemed to be involved in the controversy. Niazi was briefly detained by the UK police after the incident, according to a tweet from his official account.
I was detained for little while but then released- nothing serious. I protested bcz #babychicken misused the stage #KashmiriMillionMarch

Following the incident, Bilawal’s sister Aseefa Bhutto Zardari tweeted that her brother is safe and alleged that Indian agents tried to stop him from speaking but they did not succeed.

According to initial reports, certain participants at the march started throwing stuff at the PPP chairman, including water bottles, tomatoes and eggs when he came on stage, forcing him to leave and be escorted by the UK police.
According to media reports, people also chanted ‘Go Bilawal Go’ and ‘Go Nawaz Go’ as the PPP chairman attempted to take the stage.
