A live television debate took a shocking turn when a heated argument between PTI’s Azhar Siddique and PML-N’s Kousar Kazmi escalated into physical violence.
The incident occurred during a political talk show hosted by Mansoor Ali Khan.
The argument began when Azhar Siddique, a prominent lawyer for PTI, made comments about the Sharif family that Kazmi, a member of the ruling party, found offensive.

The unexpected outburst left the studio in disarray, with the host and crew trying to intervene. Clips of the altercation quickly spread on social media, drawing widespread attention and criticism.
Mansoor Ali Khan also talked about the unfortunate incident in details.
This incident comes at a time of heightened political tensions in Pakistan, following a PTI rally in Islamabad demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been in jail for nearly a year. The rally, marked by strong speeches from PTI leaders, has further deepened the divide between the political parties.
