PATTOKI: A woman present at the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) rally was assaulted here on Tuesday.

The woman, a resident of Kasur, is a member of the PML-N women?s wing. ?I came here to support the party, but the treatment by those present here is shameful,? she said.

The incident occurred when men entered the women enclosure after Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif's speech. 

Pictures from the rally clearly show men present at the rally misbehaving with the woman.

Women in the enclosure made efforts to save the girl and even used sticks to hit the men misbehaving with the girl and afterward managed to escort her out of the enclosure.

 

Maryam Nawaz, in her tweet, asked the chief minister of the province to take notice of the incident as it is "not PML-N ethos". 

Taking notice of the incident, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, said those responsible will be punished under the law and those responsible are being identified through video.

Sanaullah assured that a case would be registered for the incident. He, however, said that misbehaving in political rallies started in PTI rallies.
