Riyaz, the deputy leader of the PPM’s parliamentary group, shared photos of the knife on his front door in a series of tweets this morning.
“This is not the first time [they] attempted to attack me with a knife. With Allah’s mercy I’m protected every time,” he tweeted.
The knife was left in the lower half of the door and the photos also show that the door was repeatedly scraped with a knife.
