Physical assault on Sr. Journalist, Sami Ibrahim is unacceptable. What kind of culture we are promoting. Fawad Ch should have adopted a legal course incase he has problems with Sami. I don't agree with Sami on many issues but slap on his face is a slap on journalists.

کل رات فیصل آباد واپسی پر میں پوری رات سو نہیں سکا کہ یہ سب کچھ میرے اور ارشد شریف کے سامنے ہوا ہے اور اتنا اچانک ہوا کہ سب ششدر رہ گئے۔ میں اور ارشد شریف کتنی دیر صدمے کی حالت میں سمیع ابراہیم کو گلے لگا کر تسلی دیتے رہے۔ سمیع بہت برا ہوگا لیکن ایک وزیر کا یہ منصب نہیں تھا۔ https://t.co/wd2VrjrPJ4

I may not agree with #SAMIIBRAHIM on many, many counts…
But physical assault by a sitting cabinet minister @fawadchaudhry against anyone, be they a journalist or any private citizen, cannot and should not ever be condoned.— Mighty (@mightyobvious) June 15, 2019
I highly condemn Fawad Chaudhry’s physical attack on my fellow journalist and friend Anchorperson Sami Ibrahim. This slap is a slap on all journalists. The minister should be imm thrown out of cabinet, otherwise journalists of 6 districts of Gujranwala Division will be on roads. pic.twitter.com/unECQXUtqM

Slapping to senior Journalist #SamiIbrahim is very condemnable act, I don’t care what’s his thought and support for but we should respect each other view point. I condemn @fawadchaudhry.
