PTI protests outside Avenfiled flats in London

LONDON: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers on Sunday staged a protest demonstration outside Avenfield flats in London, the residence of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. 

The outraged PTI workers chanted slogans while holding flags of Pakistan against the ouster of Imran Khan’s government. Meanwhile, supporters of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz have also reached the Avenfield flats to show solidarity with the party supremo.

The confrontation between the two groups turned into an arena of slurs and slogans raised against each party’s leadership.

Fearing the clash between the supporters of both the parties, police continents have reached the Avenfield apartments to control the situation.

It is pertinent to mention here that Imran Khan was ousted as prime minister (PM) as the no-confidence motion moved by opposition parties against him succeeded on Sunday night.
