Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaaf Leader, Naeem Ul Haq, and Minister of Privatization, Danyal Aziz, made an appearance together yesterday on Tuesday, 23rd May at “Aapas Ki Baat”, a live show on GEO News.
Danyal Aziz made some inappropriate comments that resulted in a heated argument between the two and Naeem Ul Haq ended up slapping him.

According to the details, Aziz called him a “thief” which was when he lost his temper and became violent.
Muneeb Farooq, the anchorperson of the show, kept trying to cool the two down, but it didn’t help. Pakistan People’s Party’s representative Nafeesa Shah, also a guest speaker at the show, left the show following the incident.
This was, however, not the first time this PTI leader has thrown a fit on-screen. Earlier in 2011, he threw a glass of water at a Pakistan People’s Party leader, Jamil Somro, during a live show and left the set.
People on Twitter have mixed ideas about the incident.
Some pointed out that this is no way to behave in a live television show.
No matter how much I detest Daniyal Aziz, Naeem Ul Haq slapping him in live show shows how mentally unstable the latter is.. Kiya ghunday mawali ho ya leader? Would such people be able to maintain the sanctity of the House of Parliament

Others requested Imran Khan to take disciplinary action against him.
Is this guy crazy ? Is he suitable to be a tier one or two leader ? He needs psychiatric evaluation , intolerant behavior in politics is totally unacceptable @ImranKhanPTI would you take any disciplinary action against your gem Naeem ul haq who is famous for all wrong reasons https://t.co/t5ku3JOuDj

Some even applauded and praised Naeem Ul Haq for what he did!

This person pointed out that resorting to physical violence is not the solution no matter what!
Naeem Ul Haq resorting to physical violence when got short of arguments.. Imran Ismail boasting about it like its a thing so be proud of.. This is the kind of general leadership trend that leads to violent outages like that of Murad Saeed in the assembly #ہتھ_چھٹ_چور
