Hina Parvez Butt’s son protects her after she is attacked in London
Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hina Parvez Butt has been attacked by supporters of political arch-rivals Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during a trip to London. The former legislator took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on August 14, at 1:13am PST, posting a video in which she can be seen coming under attack by PTI supporters in front of her son, as they threw bottles at her and hurled abuses. She questioned whether such people are defaming Pakistan or not.
In the video she shared, her son can be seen protecting her by holding her and gently patting her back.
She has decided to take the matter of assault in London up with the city’s police and press charges against the harassers today as reported by Murtaza Ali Shah.
Journalist Ailia Zehra condemned the act of violence by mentioning that attacking a woman in front of her child is a despicable act.
Broadcast Journalist Najia Ashar stated this act is disgusting and there is no justification for such behavior.
Digital Journalist Saadia Ahmed also questioned the act.

No matter what one’s political ideologies are or what political party one supports, attacking and abusing has no justification ever.
