After a group of PTI employees threw a chicken about to celebrate their party’s victory in the Punjab by-elections on July 17, the bird was abused.
Some of the party leaders could be seen tossing the poor bird at each other and catching it while screaming slogans in the weird footage going viral on the internet. The cruel deed was performed to humiliate Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shahbaz, who is known by his political adversaries as “kukri” (chicken).
Against the PML-N, which was only able to capture four seats, the PTI won the by-elections in Punjab, which were held in 20 constituencies. The party leaders could be heard chanting “Hamza, Hamza” while throwing the chicken around.
The PTI was harshly criticised online for the stupid behaviour, which some referred to as “animal maltreatment.”
