Asad Umar responds to viral video of heated conversation with Hammad Azhar

Senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Asad Umar, has issued a clarification after a video of him having a ‘heated’ conversation with his party fellow Hammad Azhar during the party’s long march went viral.

In a tweet, Umar said that he was “Only angry because the generator had broken down”.

“They are shocked to see yesterday’s Lahore show solidarity with their captain [Imran Khan] and determination for real freedom. There is a clip circulating about possible differences. I was only angry because the generator had broken down and the second one was taking longer to arrive,” he said.

کل کے لاہور کا اپنے کپتان کے ساتھ اظہار یکجہتی اور حقیقی آزادی کا عزم دیکھ کر یہ گھبرا گئے ہیں. میرا ایک کلپ چلا رہے ہیں کے اختلافات ہو گئے. اللہ کے بندوں اس وقت مجھے غصہ اس بات پر تھا کے جنریٹر خراب ہو گیا تھا اور دوسرا آنے میں دیر ہو رہی تھی 😊 #حقیقی_آزادی_مارچ

In the viral video, Umar can be seen having a ‘heated’ discussion with Azhar. PTI Chairman Imran Khan and the party’s vice president Shah Mahmood Qureshi can also be seen standing at the back.

It was speculated that there may be a rift between Azhar and Umar but now the latter has put rest to the rumours.
