SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
DJ Butt, the man of the musical hour at Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) rallies, was arrested on Friday from Islamabad’s Constitution Avenue.
Sources told Dawn that DJ Butt was arrested in the wee hours of Friday at around 4 am.
PTI also took to its Twitter account and demanded the release of Butt along with other party workers.
Butt, who comes from a musically inclined family, had met PTI chairman Imran Khan for the first time on April 22, 2011, a couple of days before his massive sit-in in Peshawar. From there onwards, his career took off as a DJ for PTI rallies and it hasn’t looked back since.
The PTI has been protesting against alleged rigging in the 2013 elections and has also demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif whose government it calls the outcome of a rigged election. As of now, the party is currently engaged in talks with the federal government to broker a settlement over the political impasse that had gripped the country for weeks.
