Early in the morning, the man hailing from Sargodha climbed on the mobile phone signal tower in Blue Area, Islamabad, voicing the demand that he should be made the prime minister so he could improve the country's economy and repay its debts within six months.

When the rescue officials asked him to climb down, he insisted that he would only speak to the prime minister or the District Police Officer of Sargodha, otherwise he would jump down.



However, the local administration contacted renowned artist Shafaat Ali, who while mimicking the prime minister, successfully pursued the man to climb down. The police arrested the man and shifted him to a nearby police station.
