BAHAWALPUR: MNA Ayesha Gulalai came under rotten eggs’ and tomatoes’ attack before her press conference here on Friday.
The conference was convened by the supporters of a separate province status for Bahawalpur.
According to the participants, when Ms Gulalai reached the venue by a car, a local leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, Shehla Ehsan, appeared and started throwing eggs and tomatoes on her. She disappeared after throwing eggs and tomatoes on Gulalai who had no security.
Giving her reaction to the attack, Ms Gulalai termed the attackers her people who had been misguided by someone.
In her speech, she advocated the province case, saying if the people of Bahawalpur demanded a separate province, their demand should be accepted. She said the public problems would be resolved if more provinces were carved out in the country.
She said the PTI, PPP and PML-N were chips of the same block, regretting that ‘shoes politics’ had started in the country.

Most shameful way of protesting in the public.
It's the responsibility of the organizers to take
strict measures to curb such incidents.

Shoes and eggs are part and parcel of the dirty politics of PTI since they can't win at the ballot.

A women who claims sexual harassment, but won't show her phone where she claim she has evidence wants to speak for others.
She is a disgrace to women.
Would people belive other women if they claim the same now
She has made it difficult for them.

Ms Gulailai is not elected on direct election, she is on reserve seat, as custom if she leave PTI she should resign but for benefit of NA she hold her seat, she is joking in NA with PAGRI on her head.

Most shameful and unethical act on the part of the hurler. Every person has self respect and dignity and the treatment meted out to her by a PTI worker is undemocratic and immature. What should we learn in society where such democratic mind flourishes.

This is a typical case of frustration, where people express their dis-satisfication through different means. In the process, corrupt and dishonest politicians are welcomed with shoes, eggs and tomotoes, because of their dirty tricks and poor performance. This is the downside of democracy!

It's all in PTI. She belongs to PTI. She never said that she left PTI. She is still member of NA on PTI ticket. The lady who threw eggs on her also belongs to PTI. That said it is all within PTI. People will use it as it fits their political agenda.
At the same time shoe or egg throwing is not a dignified way to protest. However, this shows the morality of Pakistani people, which does not exclude politicians.

Gulali has no base. I wonder what she is upto. She should better be ignored. A low level PTI worker throws eggs at her and Gulalai blames the leadership of the party. What a shame. She is on a vendetta track.

This should be condemned. Such behaviour is never right nor should it be encouraged. Should encourage people to protest in a respectful and civilized manner.
