Video appears to show politician Nawaz Sharif mocking Pakistani politician Khawaja Muhammad Asif.

Video, however, has been misleadingly edited from longer footage that in fact shows Sharif criticising those who harass Pakistani officials following a series of incidents in Britain .

Asif was reportedly threatened on the London Underground on November 11 , the latest in a spate of harassment cases involving Pakistani officials and politicians.
