Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry slapped anchorperson Mubasher Lucman at Punjab’s irrigation minister, Mohsin Legharis, son’s valima.
Other PTI representatives were present at the Valima when the incident occurred, including Jehangir Tareen.
After the incident, Fawad Chaudhry criticised Lucman, saying that Lucman cannot be considered as a journalist.
Fawad had earlier tweeted that ‘so called journalists’ malign ministers and respectable people for viewership.
“There was a scuffle that broke out. A small fight broke out. In a fight, as usually is the case, he may have got one (slap) in, I may have hit one,” said the minister during Geo News talk show “Naya Pakistan” on Sunday evening.
“I have been a minister earlier as well. I will not tolerate personal attacks against myself. We are all human beings and will react when someone makes such false allegations.”
