The PML-N has submitted an application to the police for the registration of an FIR against PTI workers for throwing a shoe and a lota at its woman lawmaker, Sobia Shahid, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Feb 20.

PML-N provincial president Amir Muqam told reporters at the Peshawar Press Club on Saturday that the PTI workers, who were involved in the incident, also shouted slogans and used derogatory language against the woman lawmaker.

He said that the Feb 20 incident showed that the PTI workers didn’t know how to behave when it came to women.

“The PTI had invited goons to the assembly who disrespected opposition members, particularly women. The PTI violated the sanctity of the house,” he said.
