CNews World BIRMINGHAM: A man threw two shoes in the direction of President Asif Ali Zardari when the latter was delivering a speech at Pakistan People's Party's convention here on Saturday.
President Zardari was addressing a gathering of PPP workers at a convention here when a man – apparently a PPP worker – stood up and threw something towards the direction of the President as he (the man) criticized the latter for the UK trip.
According an eyewitness who was present at the convention said 'the man threw two shoes one after another in direction of the President when he was giving speech.' Security personnel present there sprung to action and took the man into custody and took him outside, the eyewitness added.
This led the President to stop his address and immediately leave the place in a security cordon in his car waiting for him outside.
President Zardari is presently in UK on a trip which was widely criticized due to his leaving the country at a time when people in Pakistan are facing unprecedented floods that has killed over 1000 people and displaced millions.
