According to the media, the PTI worker who was dropped from the container reached Peshawar to meet the KP Chief Minister, after which the news of his death was proved false.
According to a global news report, Pakistan has now joined the list of countries affected by misinformation and misleading narratives and these misleading narratives can prove to be a big challenge for Pakistan. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Report 2024, false information and false narratives have become serious challenges for many countries, including Pakistan now, and these false narratives may prove to be a major challenge for Pakistan in the next two years.
Thus, the politics of Pakistan has never been accustomed to the truth and away from lies. Whether there was a non-civil government or a civil government in the country, they all hid the truth for their own interests and ruled through lies and promoted lies by hiding the facts from the public, due to which the people lost trust in government news and Zulfiqar Ali. During Bhutto’s era, when there was only PTV and Radio Pakistan, these two government institutions were the primary source of information.
At that time there were no private TVs and there was a government shutdown on news but there were no false narratives at that time because social media did not exist and people only had access to foreign media to search for the truth and this is not the case. It used to be that after social media, the country of Pakistan is also suffering for many years now.
Due to the lack of access to real news, the rumor market was hot and even if a rumor was 100% false and the government denied it or issued an official explanation, people did not believe it and the government’s position They believed false and false news and rumors to be true, which was the responsibility of the past governments who never let the truth come out, due to which the governments lost the trust of the people, after which the emergence of social media. In the beginning, social media was not misused and had a reputation.
General Pervez Musharraf’s era has been called an authoritarian era, but reliable senior journalists have repeatedly admitted that it was an era of media growth and some degree of truth and government restrictions were non-existent. Private TV channels flourished under General Musharraf. After General Musharraf, when mobile phones became common and public trend towards social media increased, PTI was the first to start political use of social media which was not controlled by the government.
(N) League and People’s Party could not compete with PTI in this regard. Imran Khan created his own social media teams and in his government, PTI Prime Minister gave full government patronage to his social media team, giving government jobs to thousands of people.
Media, journalists and anchors were divided during the PTI era itself. It has been two and a half years since the end of the PTI government and PTI’s social media in the country and abroad has kept the government down and the government has failed miserably to break it so far and new government tactics are being used but PTI The pro-TI social media, its pro-journalists and anchors have set new records of lies by becoming political parties and have spread lies to such an extent that the public is accepting the official truth as false and the shameful lies of social media as true.
The old days are back and no one believes government news. Political media has divided the nation and false records are being created on social media and the truth is now completely hidden.
