Ibrarul Haq apologizes to angry PTI supporters
Says London event was a property expo, which included several big names of real estate.
LONDON: Renowned singer and former PTI member Abrarul Haq has apologised for performing at a concert in London amid the political situation in Pakistan and shortly after his resignation from politics.
The ‘Nach Punjaban’ singer landed in hot water online for performing at a concert soon after parting ways with the PTI on Friday.
In an interview with Waseem Badami, he acknowledged the criticism he received and apologised if his actions hurt anyone’s sentiments.
Haq explained that the event was scheduled two months before his departure from the PTI and that he had addressed this during a recent press conference.
He clarified that the concert was organised as a charity event for a hospital under the Sahara Trust banner, not for a housing society owned by former PTI leader Aleem Khan, as people had speculated online.
“It is not Aleem Khan’s housing scheme, it is a property expo, which includes several big names of real estate,” he said.
Much of the backlash he faced online was for performing so soon after his exit from the party and for performing for an event related to Khan.
