He informed the police about the knife attack threat and the harassment he faced while travelling on a train in the British capital. The London Transport Police is investigating the matter, according to state-run\u00a0<em>APP<\/em>. On the occasion, Asif said the unfortunate incident occurred on November 11, 2024, around 3:30pm on the Elizabeth Line. \u201cI am in London on a private visit with a relative, and I was travelling to Reading via the Elizabeth Line,\u201d he added. He said that a group of three to four individuals harassed him on the train, filmed him without permission, used abusive language, and threatened him with a knife. The minister said he did not recognise any of the individuals involved in the incident. The London Transport Police should use the CCTV footage to trace the individuals involved, the defence minister added. He added that such despicable incidents of threats and harassment were not only shameful but also regrettable for the 1.7 million British-Pakistani citizens residing in the UK. A day earlier,\u00a0<em>Geo News<\/em>\u00a0reported exclusively that the defence czar was threatened with a knife attack while he was travelling with a friend on the London Underground\u2019s Elizabeth Line on Monday afternoon. This is not the first time that Pakistani officials or political leaders have been harassed and heckled in the British capital. Recently, former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa\u2019s vehicle was attacked by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters in London&#8217;s Middle Temple. Former CJP Isa&#8217;s car was stopped and banged upon by a group of PTI protesters last month when he arrived to attend a prestigious event organised by The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple for his elevation as Callee after he relinquished charge as the country&#8217;s top judge. Likewise in August 2023, Judge Humayun Dilawar \u2014 who sentenced PTI founder Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case \u2014 was chased by PTI supporters as he undertook a judicial training course with other judges at the University of Hull. In similar incidents, PML-N leaders Marriyum Aurangzeb and Hina Pervaiz Butt were also harassed and heckled by people, associated with PTI, in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- Defence Minister Khawaja Asif visited the Pakistan High Commission in London to lodge complaint with local police after he was heckled and threatened with knife attack earlier this week.
