His column is in Urdu. He points to PTI trolls for using his name and fake social media (twitter) accounts to spread misinformation. Examples of fake accounts are @
Saleemsafigeo & @
SaleemKhansafi1. He calls (PTI) propagandists who hide behind anonymous names (like @
pkuser2k12 here) to launch BS attacks as
"Bayghairat". I fully agree.
How wrong it is to accuse someone by taking their words out of context and then to attack them. This is what this particular thread is about.
How come Mods allow such BS to circulate on PDF is beyond me. Journalists are people and just like me or you they have their biases and quirks - they are human after all. But the character assassination that is conducted according to twisted notions of patriotism is really inhuman.
I was partial to IK and PTI, but now I find it hard to support PTI at all because of all the negative, obsessive, and lie-based propaganda that is done in its name. The excuse that "we in PTI do not do it; it is the PML people who do this to make us look bad" does not cut it at all. Shame, shame, shame.
PTI kidos out there. Truth does not need to be propped with lies. If you are convinced of the moral superiority of your convictions, you might as well let your approach and character show it!
