ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan Wednesday shared for some hours a Bollywood movie scene on Instagram and the caption to accompany this content was: “It is what has been planned against the PTI government from day one by the corrupt mafias.”
For many, this was a rare thing, as he usually shares on social media posts (photos and clips) relating to health, climate challenge, poverty and sayings of the noted personalities on divers issues. However, the post was withdrawn for unknown reasons after about five hours.
