ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill on Monday spoke inappropriate words as he defended his abusive remarks against a fellow party member he said a few days back.

"Several euphemisms and linguistics differ from place to place [...] the words I used aren't in Punjabi are not abusive," Gill said while responding to a journalist's question outside the Supreme Court.

Gill used more abusive words while explaining his earlier remarks.

What did Gill say earlier?

Last week, the special assistant to the prime minister had lost his cool and repeatedly used profanities against PTI MNA Ramesh Kumar on live TV.

During an interview with Dunya News related to the ongoing political situation in the country, Gill couldn't control his anger and started verbally abusing Kumar, calling him a "corrupt person".

He also repeatedly used abusive words against Kumar, paying no heed to the fact that he was speaking on national television.

While speaking during the show, Gill shouted at Ramesh and called him a "sell-out." He also accused him of selling fake cancer medicines in Punjab.

Kumar denied all the allegations levelled by Gill and said: "Imran Khan is a good person but he had the wrong advisers."

Another PTI member uses abusive language

Akin to Gill, PTI's MNA and Parliamentary Secretary for Commerce Industries and Production Aalia Hamza also used abusive terms against PTI MNA's staying in the Sindh House.

Speaking during a Dawn News show, Hamza said that "after the way politicians are have exposed themselves today, even prostitutes are better than them," adding that the Sindh House was working "like a brothel" and that "p*mps are sitting there."

"I am sorry for using such words on national TV, but these are my sentiments right now as a politician [after I witnessed] the filthy [political tactics] at the Sindh House today by the PDM."
