Sheikh Rasheed added that leadership of both the parties have also asked the duo to bury the hatchet.
To a query, he said Naeemul Haq could not recognize Gandapur as he never met him before and only talked on telephone.

“First Naeem said ‘Mr. King’ is coming here, please provide him a space. And then he manhandled me,” said the PAT leader.
Gandapur said mutual respect was vital among political partners. He said Naeemul Haq first shoved him and used language that cannot be spoken on-air.
“I asked him to apologize or this matter will drag further,” he told.
