It may be recalled here that Shahbaz Gill was also heckled by the PML-N workers some time before. But it was confined only to a volley of sloganeering against him and his party at that time. The occasion was Mr Gill’s appearance at the Judicial Complex in connection with hearing of a defamation suit filed against him by a Turkish company.
In his media talk after the incident, Gill described the incident as “hooliganism” and likened the black ink thrown at him with the alleged ‘black deeds’ of the Opposition. According to him, Maryam Nawaz was the mastermind of the whole affair.

“I am not scared and quite fine. Please go and tell Maryam Nawaz”, he said, adding that he had prior knowledge of the attack which had been planned in advance. He said he came here despite warnings by different quarters. An hour before the incident, Shahbaz Gill had also tweeted: “Will be presenting myself before the honorable judges at the Lahore High Court at 2:00 pm today. I have learnt from some journalist friends that the PML-N Ghunda (hooligan) group has prepared to attack me. I am Imran Khan’s soldier- I will not be intimidated and will arrive at the court. I believe in politics, not ghunda gardi.”
