Abid Sher Ali is a PML-N party member who was also the Minister of State for Power in Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s cabinet from 2017 to 2018.
On Tuesday night, three videos surfaced the internet. One in which the Abid Sher Ali could be seen hurling abuses at a Pakistani man, second in which the Pakistani man Shahid could be seen hurling abuses at the former minister and the third in which Shayan Ali, the son of Pakistani man Shahid gave a statement.
On Wednesday, Abid Sher Ali also shared a video explaining his side of the story, he said that Shahid Khan has first “used” his wife as a political tool to attack him and now used his son for the same purpose.
The video carrying the statement of Shahid Khan’s son Shayan Ali, he stated that Abid Sher Ali jumped the queue bypassing other customers.
But the Turkish “Gokyuzu Restaurant” said that Abid Sher Ali didn’t jump the queue and had a confirmed reservation for 20:30 on July 20 for 13 people. Abid Sher Ali also shared the restaurant’s reservation details with the media, showing a confirmation for his booking.
Umar Saeed Butt, a PTI leader spoke on behalf of Shahid Khan and his son Shayan Ali and confirmed their association with PTI. Shayan claimed that the former minister started hurling abuses when my father passed by his table.
Abid Sher Ali stated that they tried to create a scene, the mother of the boy was pushed on the table and then she started abusing him and then her husband joined her too. He stated that they belong to PTI and they wanted to create a scene but I replied to them with the same coin. The restaurant management threw them out, and they can also respond forcefully.
