DERA ISLMAIL KHAN: Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has charged the Indian media with distributing, untrue and deceptive reports about Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
He stated that with Imran Khan, behind bars the spread of unfounded narratives is a significant propaganda strategy designed to agitate the public and stir hatred. In his view, this adverse campaign constitutes a plot to drive the nation into turmoil.
Addressing the press in Dera Ismail Khan Gandapur stated that Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi are in good health, dismissing all claims, about their health as fabricated and unfounded.
He additionally rejected claims regarding Imran Khan’s move from Adiala Jail, as “unfounded and fabricated” mentioning that the Punjab government has already addressed the issue.
Gandapur mentioned that the wrongdoings against Imran Khan have been brought to light in every platform. He stated that Imran Khan is acknowledged not only as a national leader but also as an international personality.
“The country remains steadfast with its leader and persists in the effort, for his freedom” he noted.
He concluded by stating that a firm resolve has been made to decisively counter and defeat all false propaganda.
Indian media under fire for spreading fake news on Imran Khan’s death
Rumours of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s death resurfaced as the Indian media has started to amplify these unverified claims, spreading misinformation about the PTI founder.
Imran Khan
An account on X named Afghanistan Times claimed that Khan had been “mysteriously killed” and that his “body has been moved out of the prison,” Indian media reported. Based on these false claims, the Indian media has started doing propaganda, spreading this information without any honesty.
This is not the first time such speculations have circulated about Imran Khan. Analysts say Indian media repeatedly propagates these false rumours, exaggerating events in Pakistan to create misleading narratives and portray instability.
Observers note that such reporting damages credibility and reflects a persistent pattern of propaganda in some sections of Indian media, which often focus on sensationalism rather than verified facts.
Indian Media
Additionally, the Indian media has repeatedly exaggerated events in Pakistan to create sensational narratives.
Even as no protests were taking place outside Adiala Jail on Wednesday afternoon, Indian media continued to broadcast what it described as “live” coverage of PTI supporters’ protests. Reports indicate that the demonstration had ended hours earlier, around 12:30 AM.
At the time, Pakistani channels showed 4:14 PM while Indian channels displayed 4:42 PM, yet coverage continued as if the protest were ongoing.
Pakistani analysts say this raises questions about why some Indian outlets remain so focused on amplifying unrest around Imran Khan and his party.
Observers often accuse these channels of anti-Pakistan bias.
Pakistani journalists monitoring the event reported that PTI workers dispersed shortly after midnight due to cold weather.
Despite this, Indian media continued to run “live” tickers, implying that the protest was still taking place. Analysts describe this as “manufactured coverage,” a recurring pattern in which outdated or misleading visuals are used to create a narrative of chaos inside Pakistan.
