Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi said alleged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters harassed him on Edgware Road in central London during a confrontation captured in viral videos.
Video clips shared on social media showed a group of alleged Insaf Students Federation members surrounding Ashrafi as he walked in the area, according to the source material.
The group followed Ashrafi for around 10 minutes and engaged him in a heated exchange.
“I was attacked and harassed when I was on Edgware Road going for dinner with my female members,” Ashrafi told Geo News in an exclusive interview.
Ashrafi condemned the incident as “highly condemnable” and said the conduct would not intimidate him.
“These people have caused a huge deal of damage to Imran Khan and PTI,” he said.
