Shoe thrown at Nawaz Sharif at madrasa in Pak

LAHORE: A shoe was hurled at Pakistan’s ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by a religious extremist today during a function at an Islamic seminary here.

The incident took place a day after a religious extremist blackened the face of Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif with ink when he was addressing his party’s worker’s convention in his hometown in Sialkot, some 100-km from Lahore.

Today Sharif was the chief guest at Jamia Naemia seminary, Ghari Shahu Lahore.

As Sharif was heading towards rostrum for a speech, a student hurled a shoe at him that hit his shoulder and ear.

The student also managed to reach in front of Sharif and chanted “Labbaik Ya Rasoolullah” slogan.

The security personnel caught the student and his other accomplice who also chanted slogans and gave them sound thrashing. (AGENCIES)
