Rascals It is Ramadan Stop Drinking Water..Seminary students ‘assault’ TV channel team for drinking water
ISLAMABAD: Students of the Madressah Haqqania beat up Din News employees, broke their camera and also threw stones at their DSNG on Tuesday.
Members of the team from Din News say the madressah management was involved in electricity theft and that they were beaten by the students because they were reporting on this.
The madressah management claims the journalists were drinking water during the day and that they were initially asked to stop and beaten when they continued to drink water.
A reporter of the channel, Ali Usman, told Dawn him and five other team members were assigned to interview Hussain Nawaz’ lawyer, Salman Akram Raja, on Tuesday.
“Mr Raja could not come from Lahore so we went to the lawyer’s house, which is near the madressah,” he said.
He said one of the cameramen, Rashid Azeem, went into the madressah and poured water over his head to cool off. Some students asked him why he was drinking water and left when they were told Mr Azeem was pouring the water on his head.
“We saw that the madressah management was stealing electricity and one of the cameramen started recording,” he said, adding that some students then started beating Mr Azeem, breaking two of his teeth and taking his camera.
Well you are lucky guy Azeem., they just broke your teeth ... it could have been much worse..
