A video of an interaction between Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and party leader Nabeel Gabol is being widely shared on social media platforms.

The video, filmed during the oath ceremony of Barrister Murtaza Wahab and Salman Murad as mayor and deputy mayor of Karachi respectively, shows the PPP head seemingly pushing Gabol away. The ceremony was held at Polo Ground on Monday.

Social media users are making different assumptions regarding the interaction between Bilawal and Gabool. Some assumed that Bilawal’s cold behaviour with Nabeel Gabol was because of his repeated insensitive comments about rape.

I'm so so so glad to see Mr. Bilawal expressing his disapproval of Nabeel Gabol. THIS is the kind of leadership I want where you don't defend misogynists but *actually* treat them like the plague that they are. PPP, on this alone, you have my vote https://t.co/B8ojBziIFn

However, Sindh Labour and Human Resources Minister and PPP leader Saeed Ghani has clarified in a tweet that the video being shared on social media is incomplete and the PPP chairman and Nabeel Gabol had a short conversation in a casual way.

“This is incomplete video, all happened in front of me. Chairman @BBhuttoZardari did listen him for some time & then Salman Murad came at that time Chairman said in the lighter way ‘saari batain yahan karoge kiya,'”
