President Dr Arif Alvi has regretted the choice of the place where his son Dr Awab Alvi signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bringing Smiles Unites States of America (USA) signatory ceremony. The MoU was signed at the Governor’s House.
Taking to Twitter Alvi said, “For the signing ceremony of an MOU between Dr Awab [his son] and his friend in my presence, the venue selection was a matter of poor judgment.”

Taking the president’s side, federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry tweeted, “The President is a very respected person, his honesty and personality is witnessed by everyone who knows him.”
صدر مملکت بہت محترم شخصیت ہیں ان کی دیانت اور شخصیت کی گواہی انھیں جاننے والا ہر شخص دے گا باقی ہمارے سوشل میڈیا پر فارغ حضرات کو کوئ نہ کوئ موضوع چاہئے ہوتا ہے وہ لگے رہیں گے https://t.co/yMNJHrZ8wr

Earlier today, President Alvi’s son announced about the MoU on social media along with a picture in which Dr Arif Alvi and his wife can be seen standing along with their son.
Despite Dr Awab’s clarification, an online debate was generated on whether there was a conflict of interest for the president or not.
When the official website “Alvi Dentals” was checked, the president is still enlisted as a dentist and part of the Alvi Dental team. The website also provides an option to “schedule an appointment” with the president.
