London, Oct 27 (IBNS): Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, 26, was heckled when he tried to address a protest rally in London on Sunday, media reports said.

The rally, Million March, was organised by a UK-based group to bring focus on the Kashmir issue.

The incident took place as the crowd began to jeer and threw empty plastic bottles at Zardari when he stepped on to a makeshift podium to address the gathering.

The march was led by Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry, whose supporters call him a former prime minister of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Chaudhry was supported by British parliamentarian Lord Nazir Ahmed of Rotherham, sources said.
