Pakistan: Imran Khan’s aide Fawad Chaudhry heckles journalists amid presser
Fawad Chaudhry
In the midst of the recent political crisis in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, former Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry engaged in a verbal spat with a journalist on Wednesday.
Asad Umar, a PTI politician and former Planning and Development Minister, was conducting a press conference outside the Supreme Court when the event occurred.
When one of the journalists, Matiullah Jan, questioned Imran Khan's close aide Chaudhry about Farah Khan, a close friend of Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi and the subject of major corruption allegations, Chaudhry lost his cool.
She is suspected of taking payments from officials in exchange for enabling their transfers to preferred posts.
After the press briefing, Fawad asked the journalist to ask the questions.
