Singer Jawad Ahmed and founder of Barabri Party Pakistan (BPP) has alleged that he was deliberately barred from giving a speech at Social Media Conclave organized in Faisalabad Art Council after he began criticizing Imran Khan led government.
Jawad Ahmed in his statement said that he was allegedly barred in the middle of his speech by the organizers when he criticized Imran Khan and former premier Nawaz Sharif. He said he felt humiliated by the reactions of the organizers and left the venue after the incident. Jawad Ahmed was invited as a guest speaker in the event.
Just to clarify to those who don’t know.
I was invited in Faisalabad today as Chaiman Barabri Party Pakistan #BPP by #SocialMediaConclave to make a political speech & not to speak on social media. That is why I criticised policies of PTI in general & Imran Khan in particular.

Addressing the government, Jawad Ahmed had said that both the current and previous governments are busy in mudslinging and accusing each other of corruption. Similarly, he added, the democratic governments had been dubbing the martial law regimes corrupt and vice versa.
Jawad Ahmed soon took to Twitter and releases a full video explaining the incident and his outlook on the political setup in Pakistan. He said that his words were received well by the youth in the audience.
This, he said, meant that so far the country could not have any honest and fair government.
As soon as he uttered these words, one of the organizers stepped in and stopped the guest speaker from speaking further. The organizer then told the other guest speakers to refrain from criticizing Imran Khan and chanted slogans in his favor.

In the video, he stated that the audience clapped and endorsed his words that PTI has also become a party of mafias, landlords, feudal and capitalists. He said “perhaps that upset some people, there were some PTI people there. Their culture has also become like that, Imran Khan has made it like that”.
My version of what actually happened in Faisalabad. We’ll post the full video of my speech tomorrow on https://t.co/z4MwjLvKS6 which actually became the reason for PTI to react. I told the very receptive & cheerful youth that PTI was also a party of feudals, capitalists & mafias. pic.twitter.com/g0vyqM6lte
