LAHORE (Dunya News) – A scuffle took place between PTI workers and Imran Khan’s guards when an important session between senior leaders was scheduled.
As soon as PTI chief Imran Khan entered his party’s Lahore secretariat to discuss future strategy of NA-120 by-election on Saturday, workers in large number also tried to sneak into the office. Security guards positioned for any inconvenience saw the act and took control of the situation by beating a few workers.
In fact, the workers wanted to enter the same room where meeting was to take place with Imran Khan in it. Administrations stopped the workers from entering inside the session room.
PTI workers retaliated and outnumbered the guards but the matter was defused soon by senior leadership as they didn’t want anyone to get hurt in the contest. The organisers and workers didn’t get along very well even later on.
