...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is
Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) founder Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
due to his controversial social media post on X.
A post on X, formerly Twitter, was attributed to the former prime minister, which read: "Every Pak should study the Hamood ur Rahman Commission Report and get to know who was the true traitor, General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman."
Referring to the Bangla war for independence. The Banglas won, depite the Jamaat-e-Islami fifth column and massacres by the Pak army that make Gaza look like a mild discussion
However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar told a local media outlet later that the post had nothing to do with Imran as he did not see the text of the posts that were uploaded to his account.
"Imran Khan has nothing to do with this [post] because he did not see its content or other things. [The PTI founder] does not approve each and every video or context."
Gohar also defended the tweet and said it was taken out of context.
"The context and comparison that we drew with 1971 was in a political context and not otherwise — nothing about the army," the PTI leader said.
The post on PTI supremo's account drew severe criticism from all quarters, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who said Imran's true face was finally in front of the nation.
But defending the post, PTI — the former ruling party — in a post on the same platform said that the events of 1971 were referred to only as a reminder so people can learn from history as it slammed the criticism.
