PTI leader Asad Umar is currently addressing a press conference in Islamabad.

He began his press conference by condemning the incidents of May 9. “I will talk about 4 different things today,” he said. “Firstly, after May 9, I was arrested on May 10. I am here after 15 days of confinement in isolation.

“Almost everyone condemned events of May 9 but i want to talk in detail about why they were dangerous for the country. Lives were lost, people were injured and state and private installations were damaged. but perhaps the most dangerous thing was that installations associated with army were attacked.”
