Pilgrims raise slogan seeing Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif-led delegation in Madina

Riyadh: A video has gone viral on the social media where Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his delegation could be seen receiving a “wonderful welcome” as they entered Masjid-e-Nabawi in Madina.

A viral video has been circulating on social media platforms that showed hundreds of pilgrims raising “chor chor” [thieves] slogans upon seeing the delegation making their way to Masjid-e-Nabawi, reports ANI.

Pakistani media reported, they were arrested by police later.

In a video, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb and member of the National Assembly Shahzain Bugti were seen along with others, reports ANI.

Aurangzeb indirectly blamed Imran Khan for the incident.

“I don’t want to name that person [ex-PM Imran Khan] in this holy place. In fact, there should be no political talk here,” she was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.
