Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hina Parvez Butt was harassed by individuals who tossed a bottle at her and screamed insults at her. This incident drew harsh criticism from Twitter users.

On X, formerly Twitter, she said, "In London, obnoxious PTI members went so far as to attack me in front of my kid, hurl bottles at me, and call me derogatory names."

"Are these uncivilized people making Pakistan's name bright or defaming it?"

Condemnations of the behavior were proffered on social media as the video gained popularity. Despite whatever political issues one may have, many users believed that such actions went too far.

In the social media footage that went viral, it was evident that the former MP was the target of a bottle hurled at her when she was walking along a London street.

A member of the mob could be seen brandishing a PTI flag and cursing Butt in another video.

This is not the first time that something similar has happened; in September of last year, the previous information minister, Marriyum Aurangzeb, was heckled at a coffee shop. Ahsan Iqbal, a former minister of planning, too endured the same torture at the hands of PTI supporters.
