      I was listening to an Indian Vlog where a man was saying that the thing and propaganda India was doing while spending millions is now done freely by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and Imran Khan. A foreign agent and Fitna should be punished and sentenced to death as he has violated the constitution.

    Out of 580 accounts, 178 were PTI supporters and what about the rest of the guys? Can our world class agencies also identify them as well or this is all they need. Pakistani public had enough of your lies that want us to digest.
