ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat extended an apology to DIG Islamabad Ali Raza during a meeting on Wednesday, expressing regret over his earlier remarks made in the assembly, a police spokesman claimed with a video recording of the Marwat with the DIG.

Marwat admitted, “I made inappropriate remarks in the assembly, which I deeply regret,” adding, “I was angry at the time because I was under police remand,” the police spokesman maintained.

Marwat further shared that he later learned about Ali Raza’s background and expressed remorse for his words. “I came to know that Ali Raza is a Syed. My words caused pain to him and his family, and I feel truly sorry for that,” he said.

The PTI leader formally apologized for his behavior during the meeting, emphasizing his regret. “We embraced each other as a gesture of reconciliation,” Marwat concluded.
