London, August 17: The British-Pakistani man, who angrily threw shoes at Asif Ali Zardari at a political rally in Birmingham, has gone into hiding after receiving death threats allegedly from the Pakistan President’s supporters.
57-year-old Sardar Mohammad Shamin Khan threw shoes at Zardari during the Pakistan People’s Party rally on August 6, but the missile did not him.
Sardar Mohammad Shamim Khan, 57, launched the attack in protest against Zardari’s meeting with Premier British David Cameron, who had triggered a storm by saying Pakistan had links with groups that promoted export of terror to Afghanistan and India.
Khan was also enraged by Zardari’s handling of his country’s floods disaster.
Khan, who is based in Coventry, is in hiding in Birmingham among the Kashmiri community after receiving threats allegedly from Zardari’s supporters.
Incidentally, he is a supporter of the Pakistan People’s Party.
