KARACHI – BOL News presenter and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) member Aamir Liaquat Hussain faced a shocking assault on Tuesday, reportedly at the hands of workers from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). The incident occurred at a local police station where tensions between rival party workers had escalated.
