LONDON: The personal secretary of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif was attacked on Monday outside a GP surgery in Ilford.
Rashid Nasrullah filed a complaint with the police alleging that he was attacked and beaten by three men, who threatened to kill him if he did not withdraw his support for Mr Sharif.
On Twitter, Nasrullah posted: “Another day, another incident of thuggery. When I was on my way to the office, Imran Niazi’s thugs attacked me, and threatened to kill me with a knife.”
He added that police are investigating the attack.
Episodes of heckling and charged sloganeering are common between the PML-N and PTI workers in London, and while their exchanges can often become heated this was one of the rare incidents of a physical assault.
In April, some PTI activists reportedly attempted to attack Mr Nawaz outside his office, but were thwarted by his bodyguards.

SO PMLN is now planning another propaganda against IK by creating issues in London...to divert attention from the leaks and their own corruption.

He was attacked and he filed an e-complaint instead of actually visiting a police station.

When it rains, it pours!
The dimwits will also blame PTI and IK for this incident.
As if no independent, non-Pakistani free-thinking person cannot have a grudge against these corrupt hoodlums hiding in the UK. But only PTI can instigate such incidents or they all have to be PTI supporters, no body else??

I saw this guy RASHID on many video clip. This guy's mouth is full of swearing and absolutely bad words. Although I personally don't support any kind of of physical hackling, but this guy can push the people's tolerance level to the limits,

…..anyone can call police for assistance on any matter in western countries and if the nature of complaint is “criminal”, it states at the end of police report. In this police report/case, it clearly states “Please Note: This is not a crime reference number”. What it means, whatever is reported by this fellow is not of a criminal nature. It is just drama hype this fellow is creating to get attention, nothing more.

@MAK123, What a genius
You already jumped to conclusions without any evidence, that these were PTI fans or directed by IK himself??
Did IK plant a GPS device on all PML-N members in the UK or elsewhere, to know exactly where each is at any time and also has supporters on standby - who have no jobs, business or family to take care of - but are ready to mobilize within minutes from all corners of the UK to converge where PML-N member is present and harass him or her at that exact moment??

We need to think seriously why Majority Pakistani hated Sharif & Zardari Family, An Era of Darkness from 1988 brings this situation. The new generation have no idea of 34 Years old history of these two ruling parties. If a normal citizen of Pakistan raised his voice then it does not means he or she is a political worker.

@Danish, What's new??
Pakistanis have been emigrating abroad since the 1940s. You can probably find a green flag holder in every nation on earth. They come and go, just as an other nationalities did. Many get deported for various reasons.
Their behavior has never been the ground for expulsion, but commission of a crime.
From that stand point, a convicted criminal is barred from even entering many countries, such as Australian, Canada etc. So why did the UK let in NS and his gang of criminals?
