ISLAMABAD: Senior PML-N leader and Minister for Planning and Development Dr Ahsan Iqbal refused to stand by Javed Latif's comments on PTI's Murad Saeed which ignited a scuffle outside the National Assembly, on Thursday.
A couple of incendiary speeches and some uncalled for remarks led to PTI MNA Murad Saeed punching PML-N's Javed Latif outside the National Assembly on Thursday. Javed Latif's personal comments afterwards were uncalled for and generated condemnations from journalists, politicians and even his own party colleagues, so it seems.
Federal Minister for Planning and Development Dr Ahsan Iqbal tweeted that he 'strongly condemned' Latif's statement and urged his followers to maintain decency.

PML-N member Hina Butt also condemned Javed's statement, terming it 'unacceptable behavior' from both sides.

PTI chairman Imran Khan had earlier condemned Javed Latif's statement and said that had he been in Murad Saeed's place, he would have dealt with Javed Latif more strictly and in an even more offensive manner.
