Arsalan Iftikhar, Murad Saeed deny rumours of slaps during television show
While appearing on Express News show, Takrar with host Imran Khan, Dr Arsalan admitted that hot words had been exchanged between him and MNA Saeed, but denied that any physical altercation took place.
Rumours spread on Friday suggested that MNA Saeed had became so agitated from alleged abuses hurled against PTI chief Imran Khan by Dr Arsalan, that the MNA slapped the former chief justice's son.
On Saturday both Arsalan and Saeed separately denied this.
"We only exchanged hot words at the talk show," Arsalan said. He continued that had anyone slapped him, he would have retaliated as well since he is not one to sit and take a beating quietly.
On allegations that he abused the PTI chief, Dr Arsalan said, "Imran Khan used unparliamentary language against my father."
Separately, Saeed denied slapping the former chief justice's son and clarified his position through his Twitter account. Murad said that Dr Arsalan was abusing his party chief and demanded an apology.

@Blithe: And you are so mature living in a country that is so great? Wake up? Stop getting paid by PML-N to put paid versions of comments!
@danish: Shame on you silly boy!
In PAK he ho has money RULES and the poor let them! They even bend over to get chitar from the elite. IK is one guy who could have lived in UK happy but he wanted to help PAK but you guys don't deserve him. I bet if IK was in india he would have been appreciated. In fact had he lived in UK and become UK citizen he could have gone in to politics and helped UK develop further. We appreciate good people here! We don't take crap from the rich everyone is equal here! We have a system here that is more Islamic than your PAK and you call PAK Islamic State? You don't know what Islamic State is all about? If followed properly you would no terrorists and PAK would respect others and others respect PAK.
yes i also that show. imran khan behaved like mubashir luqman. vvvvvvvvvv un ethical behaviour by a journalist. shame on imran khan.
@Mona Towfik: True , both Imran Khans are childish and immature!!
How can you conduct a talk show with such unprofessionalism!
Yesterday, the talk show hosted by Imran khan (Takrar) was seem to be funded like the one which was hosted by Mubashar Luqman. Imran was so biased that he has not left anything to assassinate the character of FCJP's son; Arsalan. Shame on Imran khan and its allies. Arsalan was so confident that now i think he is right and true. Congrats to Express team , you made him the hero!
This with reference to the Express News TV Show "Takrar" hosted on Saturday 5 July 2014 by Mr. Imran Khan.
As I am a regular reader of Express Tribune, the total lack of professionalism and courtesy by Mr. Imran Khan came to me as shocking, given the high standard of journalism I have been accustomed to due to my Express Tribune subscription.
Mr. Imran Khan constantly badgered his guest with mostly baseless allegations. A few such instances are being recounted in the hope that the TV Channel management will perhaps take some steps to teach their staff some basic manners if not journalism.
Mr. Imran Khan on several occasions alleged that Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar obtained a RED Diplomatic Passport in violation of rules and regulations. He claimed to have some evidence in this regard as well. Upon Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar's insistence, Mr. Imran Khan's response was "I have evidence, I can not find it as I have left my papers downstairs. I will show it soon." As expected, the evidence was never shown but a baseless allegation was repeated several times.
Similarly Mr. Imran Khan badgered the guest regarding the business address appearing on one of the guest's business bank accounts. Regardless of how Mr. Imran Khan obtained the Silk Bank account statement of Mr. Arsalan Iftikhar's company, the accountholder address as it appears in bank records is not something worthy of airtime on national television.
Another instance was when Mr. Imran Khan alleged that Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar rented a vehicle in London for 4,000 pounds per day. After a brief shouting match that ensued, Mr. Imran Khan was forced to admit the figure of 4,000 pounds per month had been misquoted by him.
Regardless of Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar's innocence/guilt, the complete lack of professionalism has severely damaged the credibility of Express News TV Channel. In case the agenda was to convince the public of Dr. Arsalan Iftikhar's guilt, the exact opposite has been achieved, as he appeared to be nothing more than a victim of harrassment by an unprofessional, untrained, rude TV Show Host.
Who are the retards still watching all these tacky seedy talk shows !!
Now I am more interested to know as to what Arsalan really said which generated a 440 volts current into Murad Saeed? It must have something really offensive and at the same time very "TRUE" about the Kaptaan which led Murad Saeed to act like a little girl.
Arsalan Iftikhar should be keeping a very low profile. However, these upstarts cannot understand the meaning of a low profile and quiet way of doing business, if they really have one. Even Malik Riaz is a controversial figure and his past relationship with Arsalan was proven by the scandal that rocked Chief Justice (rtd) Iftikhar. These people thrive on scandals and controversies. Salams
The inherent bias against the PTI here is shocking. Murad Saaed did NOT slap Arsalan Ifthikhar, who in actuality deserves a fate much worse than slapping... yet everyone is focused on Murad Saeed's admiration of his party's leader vs. the fact that the "don" was being abusive! Amazing, Pakistan, keep up your biases and keep ignoring facts =)
PTI's social media supporters are liars, abusive and illiterate. Their parents should take back smart phones from them.
Looking at the tweets of the PTI MNA, it's hard to say if he's member of a political party or a cult, the way he's defending his 'leader'.
Well if he really slap him, that's amazing. Kindly upload that video.
where did Murad Saeed mentioned that he slapped Arsalan? i don't know why we Pakistanis create stories by ourselves?
