ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb criticised PTI Chairman Imran Khan and party members on Saturday for disseminating “false propaganda” about Shahbaz Gill in the media.
The information minister, speaking at a news conference in the federal capital, showed recordings of Gill, who is presently receiving treatment at PIMS Hospital, demonstrating that the PTI leader is “absolutely OK” and that Imran Khan’s chief of staff bears no indications of torture.
Marriyum claimed that during the past three days, “false propaganda” has been disseminated on social media in the form of “fabricated” films of Gill that purport to show him being tortured when he was imprisoned.
She repeated the assertions of the coalition government, claiming that Gill, acting on the instruction of the party leader, beeped the private news channel and that Khan also handed him the script.
