KARACHI: Deputy Mayor elect, Arshad Vohra said he learnt a lesson of not receiving phone call’s during a news conference.  

Vohra had taken a phone call during a press conference by Karachi’s newly elected mayor Waseem Akhtar. After speaking on the phone, television cameras caught Vohra whispering in Akhtar’s ear.

During the call newly elected deputy mayor was heard as saying, “I’m stopping him”, apparently talking about Waseem Akhtar who was in the middle of a fiery press conference.

“Waseem, be careful, don’t talk about yesterday. Don’t take Bhai’s name” Vohra said after the phone call.

Speaking to Geo News, Vohra said an issue should not be made as the phone call was from Sindh Assembly speaker Aga Siraj Durrani.

On Thursday, Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Geo Pakistan’ Vohra said he had gotten the phone call from the head of the MQM’s media cell who was monitoring the press conference.
