A transgender community member denied allegations of attack on the PTI's Raoof Hasan in Karachi.

In a video message that is being widely shared on social media, a transgender is seen denying the allegations of the attack on the PTI leader against his community.

Few people dressed up like us and attacked Raoof Hasan, the transgender claimed.

The area where the attack took place is a secure zone, where local people cannot enter easily, the transgender person added.

"رؤف حسن پر حملہ ہمارے لوگوں نے نہیں کیا۔

وہ آدمی تھے جو ہمارا روپ دھار کر آئے تھے۔ ہمیں کیوں بدنام کر رہے ہیں؟" - خواجہ سرا کا شکوہ

آپ کی کیا راۓ ہے؟ یہ #نامعلوم_خواجہ_سرا تھے؟ یا چادر اور بوٹ پہن کر آدمی تھے جو کھسرے بنے ہوئے تھے؟ pic.twitter.com/UqSinKoqac
