ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The fundamental issue with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s social media team is not ideology but financial gain, as they directly benefit financially from higher views, said Hafeezullah Niazi, a prominent political analyst.
He said the trend indicates how profitable this activity has become for the PTI.
In a private TV programme, he said Imran Khan thought he could control his strong narrative through social media with this team, but now the situation is such that the party’s social media is no longer even under Imran Khan’s control.

“If this group wants to defame any party leader, it skillfully runs a campaign and turns the entire PTI following against them, as seen in the use of derogatory language against Gandapur,” he said.
For the social media team, harsh language, false accusations, and abusive remarks against the establishment and state institutions are beneficial because this behaviour brings them financial rewards, Niazi said and added in the future, when history is analyzed, Imran Khan’s own social media team will prove to be the most damaging factor for him.
