ISLAMABAD: While the ongoing sit-in of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) is thinning out by the day, DJ Asif Butt is as enthused as ever, even refusing to charge PTI for his services.

Butt’s talent and prowess for bringing crowds to fever pitch deserves appreciation; he is the one making calls for when to punctuate Chairman Imran Khan’s speeches with bursts of music.

“As a sound engineer, I was charging Rs35,000 per day until August 30. Since the clashes between police and PTI and Pakistan Awaami Tehreek workers, I refused to charge PTI anymore,” said Butt.

“Do you know why? It is because I am now part of the sit-in like any other supporter,” he declared.

DJ Butt no longer charges party management for sound services at the PTI sit-in
He explained that it is his association with PTI that shot him to fame and because of this he does not want to charge PTI for his services.

“I don’t mind working without any payment for PTI for the rest of my life but will of course charge other parties,” he quipped.

The sound equipment being used has also become less elaborate over time.

The show at the Constitution Avenue required 22 speakers, eight lights and six screens but now only eight speakers and eight lights are used.

DJ Butt clarified that while he is not being paid for his services, the PTI management is continuing to pay his staff.

“In the beginning, we needed 150 workers to operate the sound, generators, helpers, technicians and drivers but now the number has come down to 10,” he said.

He explained that the reduction in the amount of equipment and number of workers has automatically brought the cost down.

U-turn of DJ butt... Itna paisa to Pakistan ka famous singer nai earn karta in 3 months..
 
He claimed to be charging 35,000/- per day at the start but later on August 30th, 2014, he claimed that he has stopped charging PTI for any thing. He claimed to be the part of party sit in like a party member.

I believe he has been bought by Nooras now to throw some dirt on PTI to bring PTI in focus instead of Nooras for failure in governing.
 
8 crore ka sawal hai bhaiya 5 crore 91 lakh as Said by DJ Butt he recieved that ramaing 8 Crore is Pending.....


I remember Javaid Hashmi saying that he cost 27 lakh to 35 lakh for 1 jalsa PTI gave 8 Crore till date it would be more then 20 Crore by now.....

Muhammad Asif aka DJ Butt, an entertainer whose beats punctuated political rhetoric at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) sit-in in Islamabad last year, claimed on Monday that the party owes him Rs60 million.

“My total payment for playing music at the PTI sit-in was Rs110 million but I have only been paid Rs50 million so far,” DJ Butt said, while speaking to Express News.

“I will go to court if my payment is withheld,” he said, adding the party still owes him Rs50 million.

Further, Butt, who has been working with PTI since 2010, said, “My daily pay was Rs0.6 million.” PTI leader Naeemul Haque said the party is settling Butt’s dues and will resolve the matter soon.

In September 2014, during the sit-in, Butt was arrested by law enforcers on charges of abetment.

Soon after the news broke, [HASHTAG]#JusticeForDJButt[/HASHTAG] started trending on Twitter:
