ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said he and his wife are being specifically targeted through ‘fake news’ after the opposition failed at its political narrative.

While meeting a high-level delegation of the Council of Pakistan Newspapers Editors (CPNE) at his residence in Islamabad, the former prime minister said he is being targeted through fake news and allegations under the umbrella of the government.

He said the incumbent government is doing this after failing at its political narrative.

Imran Khan that the journalists can play a vital role in the elimination of rumour-mongering and fake news.
