PTI Ministers Hit By Fake Campaigning Amid TLP Protests

Amid violent protests by outlawed Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) activists, miscreants launched fake campaigns against two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ministers.

Pakistani government officially banned TLP as the protests in different cities brought the country to a standstill.

Following the dispute between the government and banned TLP, Twitter witnessed that two PTI ministers became the target of false propaganda.

A Twitter user posted an old voice recording in which Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Syed Ali Haider Zaidi was heard using abusive language against TLP.

Ali Zaidi also harshly criticized how TLP activists were spreading anarchy and chaos in the country.

In response, Ali Zaidi condemned the act and posted the original clip of a man who almost had the same voice as him.

After targeting Ali Zaidi, Bol News became part of the propaganda as well and displayed fake statements linked with Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan.

According to the channel, Ali said that he would immediately part ways with PTI if the ban on TLP wasn’t lifted and its demands were not met.
