PTI supporters who heckled Ahsan Iqbal 'apologise', 'express remorse'

[khail007]

I think the one with the glasses, the older one.

A general statement - apologizing to a criminal does not warrant that the criminal didn't commit the crime.

Here:
You and GEO could do miracles.
There is a vast difference between 'think' and 'sure'.

• Family who heckled Ahsan Iqbal visits his residence to offer apologies.
• Minister says he had already decided to not take legal action against them.
• "We must not turn the right to disagree with each other into hatred and must maintain mutual respect," says Iqbal.

Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal on Sunday said that the family of PTI supporters who had heckled him two days prior has "apologised" and "expressed remorse and embarrassment".

In a tweet accompanying a photo with the family who had visited him at his residence, the minister wrote: "The family involved in the incident came to Narowal and apologised for their actions in our meeting and expressed remorse and embarrassment."

Iqbal said that he had already announced he "won't be taking legal action against them".

"We are all Pakistanis. We must not turn the right to disagree with each other into hatred and must maintain mutual respect," he added.


Iqbal was heckled by a group of PTI supporters on Friday at a fast food restaurant where he had apparently gone for dinner.

The video of the incident showed people hurling abuses at the minister and quickly went viral on social media.

Later on, taking to Twitter, Iqbal wrote: “Today, a family — who apparently considered themselves elites and supported PTI — clashed with me.”

“Instead of holding a dialogue with me they started chanting slogans,” he wrote, adding that as a counter-attack, other people present at the restaurant also started chanting slogans against the PTI.

Criticising the PTI Chairman Imran Khan for "instilling hatred" among people, Iqbal wrote: “Just like their ignorant and lunatic leader, his supporters are following suit.”

Retweeting a condemnation tweet, the planning minister further said: “These people, who claim to be literate, are actually ignorant and fascist just like the followers of Hitler."

“We are neither going to get intimidated by them nor will we surrender because of them,” he wrote, adding that such people are "proof of PTI's mental bankruptcy”.

“Imran [Khan] is polarising the society at the behest of illicit funders,” he added.

Many Twitterati condemned the incident and called it a manifestation of the growing intolerance in Pakistani politics.

In a land where mothers and wives ‘forgive’ murders of their sons and husband, this is again not surprising.

Most likely

1- Threat against the family from their Private sector employer or Federal job
2- Local Mafia lord threatened the family

What a small man this Ahsan Iqbal is.

Was his ego revitalized after arm twisting them into getting an apology?

Well now the PML /PPP focus is damage control

Karachi as we know is under water (the usual)
But Punjab of course is playing field so image management is important

While 5-10% rigged votes are expected by PML in Punjab , they still want to make sure the figure does not sways unexpectedly in elections

That is why I don’t believe in fake changes as true changes come from within. Nawaz Sharif comes from within the same system and so are the young awaam that have no mannerism.

We can’t resort to beghairti and call ourselves reformer.

One can ask Hazrat Umar (rz) over having more cloth for his kurta or a woman can challenge him in public over talaq issue but today 1400 years later one can't call Ahsan Iqbal chor even though he belongs to a party whose leader ran away to London after lying to Pakistani courts

Great. Thank you neutrals
