PESHAWAR: Propaganda accounts linked to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are circulating fabricated reports claiming that the newly formed advisory council has decided to repeal the Sehat Insaf Card (Health Card) Programme and other public welfare initiatives.
Another viral post falsely attributes a statement to Health Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Nigar Johar, claiming that investigations into the Health Card Programme will be launched as a priority.
The claims are false and fabricated. No credible, verified, or official information supports these reports. According to official sources, no decision has been taken to repeal the Health Card Programme or any other public welfare initiative.
The programme continues as per government policy. Similarly, the statement attributed to Health Adviser Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Nigar Johar regarding investigations into the Health Card Programme has no verified basis. No such statement has been issued by the Health Adviser’s office. Officials said PTI-linked accounts are circulating these unverified claims to create public confusion and spread misinformation regarding government policies and public welfare initiatives. The public is advised to rely exclusively on credible, official, and verified sources for information regarding the Health Card Programme and other government initiatives, and avoid sharing unverified reports.
The circulating reports regarding the alleged repeal of the Health Card Programme and the statement attributed to Health Adviser Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Nigar Johar are unverified and fabricated.
