HYDERABAD: A Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) office in Latifabad was ransacked while aerial firing injured two Insaf Students Federation (ISF) activists, on Sunday night.

Reports said that unidentified persons ransacked a PTI office in G.O.R colony and beat ISF district president Umair Shaikh.

According to PTI Hyderabad district president Dr Mustansir Billa, the attackers belonged to the Pakistan People Party (PPP).

He said that party activists burned tyres on the road in protest, while another group of PPP activists arrived at the scene and resorted to firing.

He said two activists received injuries and have been shifted to Bhittai Hospital. He said that the police arrived at scene after a delay of one hour.

Meanwhile, around 80 to 100 PPP activists burned an effigy of PTI Chairman Imran Khan outside the local press club and raised slogans against him.

The PPP's protest followed an incident in London where PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was interrupted during his speech while he was addressing a Kashmir million march rally.

According to PPP Senator Saeed Ghani, who is in-charge PPP Sindh Media Cell, the PTI activists along with some Indians had first tried to restrain the PPP chairman from making a speech in the march.

He said the miscreants threw some objects and plastic bottles at Bilawal as well. He added that they used objectionable language and then kept interrupting the PPP chairman.

He said that it was highly condemnable as the PPP chairman was raising the Kashmir issue when PTI activists resorted to such tactics. He added that London police then escorted Bilawal safely from the venue.

Bilawal's younger sister Assefa tweeted after the incident:
