Watch: Pakistani journalists hurl abuses at each other in London cafe

Send Push
Abuses flew thick and fast as a verbal altercation broke out between two Pakistani journalists at a cafeteria in London last week. In videos which have gone viral on social media, journalists Safina Khan and Asad Malik targeted each other with the choicest of abuses while others tried to defuse the situation.

Both Khan and Malik are based in the UK capital.

While the trigger behind their verbal clash is not known, the video begins with Khan calling Malik a "b*****d." As the clash continues, a man tries to calm them down, saying how both of them are from the media industry and therefore, should not behave like this in public.

However, the argument continued, with the duo verbally abusing each other's family. Words such as "pig" were mentioned several times.


At one point, both Malik and Khan got up from their seats, and had to be held back by others.

The incident occurred during a press conference of Salman Akram Raja, the secretary secretary general of the Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf of Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Claim vs. counter-claim

Khan, who is associated with Pakistan's NEO News, has alleged she was "harassed and abused" by Malik and his group.

This was disputed by Malik, who said these were "false and baseless" allegations, which were "consistent with her pattern of past behaviour."
