Islamabad, Sep 12 (IANS): A man who played music during Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's (PTI) rallies was arrested Friday from Islamabad’s Constitution Avenue.
According to PTI officials, DJ Butt was arrested at 4 a.m., Dawn online reported.
"The government should immediately release all PTI workers, including DJ Butt," the party tweeted.
Butt met PTI chairman Imran Khan Peshawar in 2011.
From there onwards, his career took off as a DJ for PTI rallies.
The protests led by Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Tahir-ul-Qadri began Aug 15 in an attempt to overthrow Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whom they have accused of rigging the 2013 general elections.
As of now, the PTI and PAT are currently engaged in talks with the federal government to broker a settlement over the political impasse that had gripped the country for weeks.
