Two Pakistani journalists got into a heated argument while covering an event at a London cafe. A video of journalists Safina Khan and Asad Ali Malik shows them hurling abuses at each other as others try to cool down the matter.
Reportedly, the incident took place during a press conference of Salman Akram Raja, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General and a close aide of former Pakistan PM Imran Khan.
Safina too shared the video from her X handle and claimed she was not only cornered by ARY News channel’s reporter Fareed and Hum News journalist Rafeeq during the event, but they also started talking while she was asking questions. She also held these journalists responsible if anything happened to her.
“I heard someone’s mother being abused, not for myself. There was no such thing as honour among these shameless men. The one who abused the mother of Senator Journalist Azhar Javed from Youth was being slapped while sitting down. When I could not tolerate the abuse of Azhar Javed’s mother, how could I remain silent after hearing the abuse of my own mother?” she posted in Urdu.

Meanwhile, Asad Malik, who works for a UK-based outlet, refuted all claims made by her and called the allegations “baseless”.
“These are false and baseless allegations, consistent with her pattern of past behaviour. The facts are clear and supported by multiple eyewitnesses,” he said in an X post.
Safina, in a post on X, also claimed that supporters of Imran Khan’s party have been harassing her and even attempted to carry out an acid attack against her.
“An acid attack was even carried out, but I was neither afraid then nor will I be afraid now. If a man gets up and abuses me or my mother, I will abuse him twice as much as the women in his house,” she wrote.
She also posted a video originally shared by an account named “Pakistani,” accusing ARY reporter Farid Qureshi of editing the clip and uploading it through one of his fake accounts.
