A picture making rounds on social media of President Arif Alvi lying down at the Islamabad Airport that has been widely ridiculed by online users who called him out for his ‘public stunt’, has now been proven to be of a time well before his presidency.

Awab Alvi, son of the head of state came forth clearing the air on social media after a plethora of tweets were making rounds showing him lying down the  waiting chairs at Islamabad Airport, subsequently becoming subject of memes poking fun at him for his ‘publicity act.’

Awab came to his father’s defense by digging up the original tweet by President Alvi that was posted in January 2018 when he had been an MNA and not the president, saying: “An old tweet making rounds - he was an MNA then But that's how he is causal and relaxed.”

The original tweet by the president had stated: “Flight from Lahore to Karachi 10 PM got cancelled because of fog. Waiting at Lahore airport since a couple of hours for PIA to let me know alternate flight or rescheduled time.”
