ISLAMABAD: On Thursday, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif crossed the National Assembly floor to shake hands.
Despite its briefness, the action was notable as a show of political decency in a setting that was becoming more antagonistic and divisive.
A portion of PTI supporters responded negatively on social media after the photo of the handshake went viral, despite the fact that many hailed it as a show of political maturity.
PTI supporters criticized the gesture, seeing it as a concession rather than a show of tolerance, which they say goes against the party’s basic beliefs.
