#1 However, Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar rubbished the above report, saying there is no substance in it as he was himself present at the convention and no such incident took place during the Presidents speech.

I was sitting in the front row and I can confidently say that nobody threw anything, Farhatullah Babar said while talking to Geo News.

what we need now is a cartoon of the event.
