PTI’s Uzma Kardar’s phone confiscated after courtroom selfies with Naeemul Haque

ISLAMABAD: Court officials confiscated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member Uzma Kardar’s phone for clicking selfies in the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday, where a petition against Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif was being heard.

Kardar was seen clicking selfies with PTI leader Naeemul Haque as the hearing was underway. The court authorities after noticing the act ordered her to hand over the phone, and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani ordered her to submit a written apology as the use of phones is not allowed inside the court.

The phone was returned after Kardar submitted a one-page apology and had her nine selfies deleted.

Kardar was in the news in late June after she disrupted State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb’s press conference by walking up to the dais and asking her to leave.

PTI leader said Marriyum had been speaking since the past hour while they were waiting

Kardar remarked that Marriyum had been speaking for the past hour. “We also have to speak,” she had said.

Following this, PTI workers insisted that the minister leave. Soon, police officers intervened to stop the incident from escalating and dispersed the PTI workers.

After the commotion, Aurangzeb chided the PTI workers for their behaviour. “What kind of behaviour is this? They [PTI workers] are always attacking everyone.”
