The flag hoisting ceremony at Bilawal House, the house rented by Asif Ali Zardari on Sher Khan Road, was marred by a clash between two groups of a Pakistan People's Party (PPP) youth wing.
| They can't even have a party get-together without duking each other out... |
Two separate groups of the PPP youth wing led by Dr Hatfield Fakharud Din and Muhammad McCoy Ayub started exchanging hot words shortly before the flag hoisting ceremony.
"Arrr! Yer mudder wears army shoes!"
"A curse on yer moustache!" |
Ayub allegedly slapped Dr Fakhar on his face, which prompted his supporters to whip out a rod pelt bottles at Ayub's supporters. Umer Sharif, a PPP ticket holder, and some of other activists were injured in the ensuing fight. PPP leaders intervened to settle the dispute and Ayub and his supporters left the scene hurling abuses at some leaders. Speaking on the occasion, Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar, former PPP secretary general, strongly criticised the people involved. Mukhtar welcomed the decision of party chairperson Benazir Bhutto and her spouse Asif Ali Zardari to have a residence in Lahore and said that Bilawal House would be the centre of all PPP political activities from now on. | There goes the neighborhood. |
