Asslam-u-Alaikum,It is the minimal physical assault - For to amount for an actionable crime, it needs much more.
Of course, a slap by parent to a child or a teacher to a student and many other instances it wouldn't amount to a 'legal' crime. Even during a fight/conflict such a minimal assault (with no life threatening of chance or intent of visible physical injury) would not automatically count for a legal crime but circumstance will dictate its nature.
So a slap does not automatically equate to actionable legal crime, as you are implying.
If you think a slap (or anger) is always a misbehavior or a moral crime, you may be very right.
Anyway, such a behavior is bad, and especially from a person who has prominent position in the society and one should control anger and keep argument to a limit. He should publicly apologize and, if Sami Ibrahim reports the incident to police, police must take appropriate legal action.
And for to be arrested for such assault (as you have demanded) there are other requirement such possibility of future violence or threat or possibility/intent for causing injury or law n order situation etc..
Bhai, I read almost all posts of yours (about this matter) and as I understand people are highlighting this incident as crime and you are providing legal explanation.
Now lets do not consider this as legal incident but as moral act, Since Mr. Fawad is a minister and enjoying all the protocols and powers of being a parliamentarian what would happened if any common man had tried slapping Mr. Fawad?
- Would that person receive same coverage and liberty to walk free on the road without any fear after this incident?
- Would that person just come on TV and with lousy mouth he could say it was just an incident no harsh feeling and I do respect all the parliamentarian, and it would be end of story?
In simple words it would never happened, that person would ended up in police locker without any justification because Mr. Fawad is a minister, even if Mr. Fawad wasn't a minister but still he is a MNA protocol always protect these untouchables.
Bhai, accept it or not these people do not come in assemblies to serve us but to enjoy the power and protocol which they receive. If today you rip off everything from them I'll see who (from them) will stand for election!
This is all about power and money.
