Shahbaz Gill decries fake news about PM Imran, first lady marital issues

PTI leaders have rubbished rumours about personal issues between Prime Minister Imran Khan and First Lady Bushra Bibi. A report published by The Friday Times details how the first lady has been living separately, in a friend's house in Lahore. However, the said friend, Farah Khan previously refuted rumours about Bushra Bibi residing with her.

Now, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Shahbaz Gill has said a legal action will be pursued against individuals propagating fake news. "We are already contesting a case against [senior journalist] Najam Sethi for sharing fabricated news about the prime minister and his wife," Gill said on social media.
Without naming names, the SAPM added” "You can do politics and journalism, but propagating fake news about family members who are not in politics will be dealt with in a court of law."

Earlier, Farah had said that Bushra Bibi is living at Bani Gala, PM Imran’s residence in Islamabad, contrary to reports suggesting that she was staying at Farah Khan’s residence. “Fake propaganda was being spread about the couple,” she added.

Farah further said that one should not stoop so low in politics that they start to spread lies about the personal lives of people. Farah Khan accompanies the first lady when she visits various public welfare projects including shelter homes and hospitals.
