Speaking to reporters in Lahore after appearing before an anti-terrorism court (ATC), Butt - who is allegedly a PML-N activist and a local hoodlum - said that he has no relation to any political party or police.
Video footage has shown Butt smashing cars during clashes between Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers and the police outside the Minhajul Quran International Secretariat on June 17. He broke windscreens and windows of private vehicles with a club in the presence of police officials, who did not do anything to stop him.
Addressing the media today, Butt said that he was a social welfare worker.
When a reporter said that the incident made Butt famous, the vandal replied that he does not want such publicity, adding that it was hurting the country's image.
"I am so upset mentally because of this, and therefore cannot comment on whether I want to join politics or not," Butt remarked, when questioned whether he would enter politics.

His Highness Mr. Gullo But was released by High Court. On what grounds in spite of his venture as shown by media. What other proof was needed..
In the model town incident, recorded on video by various media outlets clearly he was being supported by police and the government during the time he damaged private property. In some of the videos he is even seen hugging police.
This is impossible, even during his bail he had police protection and government cars picking him up.
All PML-N supporters on ET are completely silent when it comes to this thug gullu and are nowhere to be seen here..
@imran ali: Gullu Butt for COAS
Gullu Butt is a hero. He is the only one who can play Imran Khan's bouncers. Did anybody see his technique?
Biggest lie of the century must be getting paid a lot by punjab government for saying all this.
Gullu Butt for chief justice of Supreme Court...

@Sodomite: Why not to introduce GULLU PEACE PRIZE
"Not associated with PM Nawaz, PML-N or police: Gullu Butt", but very strongly associated with CM Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sana.
He says he is so mentally disturbed now...I think he was mentally disturbed even before he went on to destroy public property and not to forget he is concerned about image of the country...haha!
@Nasir Mahmood: Still he may prove better than many politicians.
@Kaleem Ullah: Not just a Nobel!!! But a Nobel Peace Price.
Thanks to media for offering publicity to this noble person. He is pride of Pakistan and national hero. He is role model for every Pakistani not the Malala, Edhi Saheb, Dr. Adeeb Rizvi or Dr. Abdus Salam and many more like them. Gullu should be included in syllabus of school.
Next PM Gullu Butt - Pakistan Zindabad
Gullu for Nobel Prize.
If anyone buys Gullu Butt's stories then they need to have their head examined.
@ajeet: the existing one isn't too different than Gullu anyway.
A social welfare worker, LOL that is the joke of the day, does smashing glass of cars comes under social welfare?.
joke of the day
Why not Gullu for PM, if chai wala can be PM. We deserve such rulers by choice of voting or rigging.
To me it is a dumb reporting. Instead of asking relevant questions reporter asked totally irrelevant questions.
The most important question for he reader was "why did he do what he did and on whose behest he was doing it". He did it in front of the police and therefore the reporter should not let him get away with further lying.
Why is he up set about hurting the image of the country. Did he not think when he was smashing the vehicles! We have to face the truth and correct our behavior.
What a job he is making out of Courts and the system. In the foto it doesnot seem that he is a criminal suspect, instead look like he is a Political Leader who has been wrongly accused. If the court and Police had treated him according to law. He would not have been this much Heroic. The world knows that he is from PMLN just like Javaid Hashmi was..
Gullu for Pakistan PM.
