Earlier, Syed said while speaking to reporters, “The good news you have been waiting for, I have come here for that."
PTI leader Imran Ismail confirmed Mufti Syed conducted the PTI chief’s Nikkah.
“The event was a low key affair because we did not want to celebrate due to the Peshawar school massacre,” Ismail said while speaking to the Express News.
Further, he said close friends and family attended the ceremony.
Earlier, there were reports that Imran's wedding may also be a fundraiser for the PTI chief's Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, which is currently under construction in Peshawar.
However, the reports were rubbished by PTI leaders. Talking to The Express Tribune, PTI's Arif Alvi said it was the first he had heard such reports and he was completely in the dark when it came to Imran's wedding plans.
PTI's central information secretary Shireen Mazari also took to Twitter to rubbish the reports.
"There are no wedding or Valima receptions. Tomorrow food will be distributed amongst poor children," Mazari added.
A local Urdu newspaper on Thursday reported that the politician and his close aides are discussing certain proposals to raise funds at the Valima ceremony.
It is being proposed that the Valima ceremony will be held in four main cities -- Peshawar, Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore. While Valima cards will only be given to those who ensure contribution for the completion of the cancer hospital in Peshawar.
The report further states that the minimum price of the Valima invitation is fixed at Rs100,000 while VIP cards will cost between Rs500,000 to Rs1,000,000.
A total amount of Rs500 million is expected to be earned from Imran’s Valima celebrations. After weeks of rumours and speculation, on Monday Imran confirmed he had good news to share regarding his marriage with the nation.
