The incident took place at a press conference outside Pakistan's Supreme Court after following which mediapersons boycotted the meeting attended by leaders of Imran Khan's party.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's aide and former federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday lost his cool and heckled a journalist who asked about corruption allegations against Farah Khan, believed to be a close friend of the first lady Bushra Bibi.
The incident took place at a press conference outside the Supreme Court today, following which mediapersons boycotted the meeting that was attended by ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members Asad Umar, Shahbaz Gill and Ali Muhammad Khan, and demanded an apology from Chaudhry, Geo TV reported.
The incident took place when Mr Umar, former federal planning and development minister, was briefing mediapersons, outside the country's Supreme Court and a journalist asked a question about Farah Khan, a friend of Imran Khan's wife.
Mr Chaudhry responded harshly and the situation quickly escalated into a heated argument with the former minister accusing the journalist of taking bribes and calling him "kiraye ka aadmi (a man who has been hired)".
