Confrontation between supporters of Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz turned into an arena of slurs and slogans against each party's leadership outside Avenfield flats in London, the residence of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
After the ouster of Imran Khan from the Prime Minister's seat, the outraged workers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Sunday staged a protest at Nawaz Sharif's residence.
Holding flags of Pakistan, during the demonstrations, PTI workers chanted slogans against the ouster of the PM. Meanwhile, supporters of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) also reached the Avenfield flats to show solidarity with Nawaz Sharif, the party supremo, reported ARY News.
Police, in order to control the situation between the two groups, reached the Avenfield apartments. Nomination papers of Pakistan joint opposition candidate Shehbaz Sharif and PTI's Shah Mahmood Qureshi have been approved for the Prime Minister's election slated to take place on Monday.
Earlier, Former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif submitted the nomination papers for the top seat. The nomination papers have been approved for the PM's election.
