*Butt refutes any association with PM Nawaz, PML-N or police
Shahid alias Gullu Butt, accused of damaging public property during Model Town incident, denied being associated with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) or Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Speaking to journalists in the provincial capital after appearing before an anti-terrorism court (ATC), Butt – who is allegedly a PML-N activist and a local hoodlum – said that he has no relation with any political party or police.
Video footage has shown Butt smashing cars during clashes between Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers and the police outside the Minhajul Quran International Secretariat on June 17. He broke windscreens and windows of private vehicles with a baton in the presence of police officials, who did not do anything to stop him.
Butt, ironically, said that he was a social welfare worker.
When a reporter said that the incident made Butt famous, the vandal replied that he does not want such publicity, adding that it was hurting the country’s image.
“I am so upset mentally because of this, and therefore cannot comment on whether I want to join politics or not,” Butt remarked, when questioned whether he would enter politics. He said he is merely a social worker.
The manner in which Duya TV has turned a criminal into celebrity reflects on the Channel and its owner. This is how Nawaz, Zardari etc have been made ‘leaders’ and now BB is being made one by our totally unreasonable media.In most countries such characters would be dead and burried.
