ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, Shehbaz Gill, in a recent vlog, alleged that a Pakistan Army officer, Captain Imran Ali, was subjected to court-martial for participating in and chanting slogans during a PTI protest at D-Chowk, which is false and misleading.
According to the PTI leader’s claims, the officer allegedly refused to follow military orders and openly supported PTI during the D-Chowk protest, which led to disciplinary action.
However, fact-checking reveals that no such army officer exists, and there is no record of any court-martial proceedings linked to the alleged incident. The image shared alongside the claim was also found to be fake and misleading, with a random photograph being falsely portrayed as that of a serving army captain to support the narrative.
Moreover, no confirmation or statement has been issued by credible or official military sources regarding such an incident. The claim appears to be a fabricated story designed to mislead the public, using a non-existent individual and an unauthenticated image.
The allegation spread by Shehbaz Gill is categorised as fake news, underscoring the importance of verifying politically sensitive claims before sharing them further.
This is not the first time that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has pushed a false narrative to influence the masses. Earlier, the nexus between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and foreign elements in the UK put the implementation of international laws and counter-terrorism requirements to a serious test.
According to reports, PTI has ignored all moral, legal, and international boundaries while promoting an anti-Pakistan agenda to achieve its political interests.
For a long time, the soil of the UK has been used by some fugitive YouTubers and miscreants associated with the PTI for systematic propaganda against Pakistan and the Pakistani Armed Forces, allegedly under foreign patronage.
