KARACHI:

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Firdous Shamim Naqvi and its Karachi chapter head Aftab Siddiqui had a terse exchange during a protest by party workers near the Millennium Mall in Gulistane-Jauhar on Sunday.

PTI workers were protesting against police action on the Lahore residence of Imran Khan.

"Unfortunately, leaders of the PTI in Karachi did not bother to come out of their homes to protest," said Naqvi while addressing protesters. If anything happens to Imran Khan, you should not wait for the leadership's instructions and come out to protest, he continued.

During Firdous Shamim's speech, PTI's Karachi President, Aftab Siddiqui, seized his microphone, resulting in an angry exchange on stage after which Naqvi left the podium.
