Political Punch-Up: PML-N and PTI Leaders Throw Fists Instead of Facts in Live TV Show
The video of their wrestling is doing rounds on social media platforms

A live television debate in Pakistan escalated into a physical altercation between leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), highlighting ongoing tensions between the two political parties.
The incident involved PML-N’s Akthar Wali Khan and PTI’s Naeem Haider Panjautha. They engaged in a heated exchange that quickly turned violent, and video footage of the brawl went viral on social media platforms like Facebook.
During the debate, both politicians shouted insults at each other, and the confrontation intensified when Khan allegedly lunged at Panjautha, prompting a physical response. Studio staff intervened to separate the two as they exchanged blows.
This incident is not isolated; previous televised debates have also seen similar confrontations, notably involving Senator Afnan Ullah from PML-N and Sher Afzal Marwat from PTI, who were involved in a fistfight during an Express TV show last September.
Such events underscore the escalating political tensions in Pakistan, where disputes often spill over into violence, raising concerns about political decorum and public safety.
