Islamabad: Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party of spreading false narratives to damage the reputation of the state.

He challenged the party to provide evidence of law enforcement officers firing at demonstrators, noting the absence of any fatalities. The Minister stated that PTI’s claims of casualties are unfounded and that images of deceased bodies circulated on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, X, and WhatsApp are fictitious.
